What I Do For Fun
Writing Code
It's not just a bullet point on my resume. I know code. Learning new languages, patterns, and ideas...to see an idea come to life. This is what I love.
Baking Homemade Pizza
I've been making my own homemade pizza, and a mess in the kitchen, for years. Through trial and error, I like to think my homemade pizza crust is pretty darn good.
Building Legos with My Son
Me and my son Stew, we love the legos. He's very particular about the things we make, constantly saying "No. No. No." when Daddy puts a lego in the wrong place.
