I am a software developer by trade. You can view my professional resume. I also have some personal projects. You can follow my blog if you'd like.

I have played music in various groups in the Salt Lake City area. My primary instrument is guitar, although I have spent plenty of time on drums, keyboards, and various other noise makers. While I am not currently making music, some friends are.

I helped a friend Aaron out with a few films and he let me have a role in a recent one. He’s had a short featured at Cinequest Film Festival 2006.

I have travelled to Spain, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, and Cuba. My favorite places have been Buenos Aires, Argentina and Havana, Cuba.

I am a fan of motorcycles, have owned a few ’75 Honda’s, and have travelled all over the United States with a friend of mine. I hope to travel Europe and Asia on future trips.

I am an experienced sailor and have sailed in the Great Salt Lake and Florida Keys. I have taken US Sailing’s courses and have Basic Keelboat, Basic Cruising, and Bareboat Cruising certifications.

I have a fondness for gambling and have read and studied books, mostly pertaining to Blackjack, and have traveled all over Nevada playing in various casinos. I have an interest in the mathematic analysis of games of chance which has led me to interest in financial markets and prediction markets.
