More About Me
I'm passionate about
Humanity, history, brewing, programming, dogs, great stories, hacking hardware, my kids, my community.
An idea worth spreading
Surround yourself with people you don't agree with, and figure out how to really listen to them. Allowing yourself to be changed is much harder than it seems.
Talk to me about
stuff you love.
