About Me
I'm from College Station, Texas, where Friday night lights and Saturday morning tailgates inject life into the town, everyone treats you like a neighbor, and the four seasons are hot, hotter, perfect, and little chilly but sometimes hot.
Growing up I loved music, sports, building things, solving problems, math, and writing. I loved to be creative and loved to be analytical, and didn't really understand the two could go hand in hand. I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up because everyone around me was a teacher or some type of academic. It wasn't until college that I learned about entrepreneurs and what a career could look like wearing multiple hats and building things. I look for places where I can be creative, analytical, balanced, and think big. I've always heard people say "don't half-ass two things," and to that I say "whole-ass three things". I believe in disciplined early mornings and relaxed nights, and that life should be lived with passion and love.
I live by the beach, love sports and music, and enjoy walks with my wife and dog. I love Sundays at the Ryder Cup, hearing stories of people who never gave up, writing about moments that inspire me or touch my heart, listening to music that brings back memories, The White Album, deafening roars at Kyle Field on third down, laughing uncontrollably, Wilco, that moment when the code finally runs without errors, or the solution clicks in my mind and things fall into place.
I work in the shipping and logistics industry, develop software for startups, consult with eCommerce brands on shipping strategies, build online tools for anyone to use, and look for opportunities to meet and learn from interesting people. Here's some more info on the things I'm building, writing, and learning.Thanks for checking out my website, would love to chat or work together! I'm pretty responsive on email or LinkedIn.

Photography
I wouldn't call myself a photographer, but I feel drawn to the idea that a moment--with all its smells, emotions, movement, and magic--can be captured, kept, looked back on and experienced all over again. Click to Enlarge Pictures

Music
Music has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. It has helped me put words to my emotions, and put emotion behind my words. Here are some of the songs that have impacted and influenced me the most. Some I've loved since I was 8, and some I heard for the first time this year.
