About Me

A developer with roots deep in the lush landscapes of Vancouver Island.

Growing up on Vancouver Island, I spent most of my childhood outdoors, with my love for nature and adventure rooted in my time spent in local Beaver, Cub, and Scout groups. I learned to enjoy hiking and camping, and during one of these outings, I discovered my passion for rock climbing. I competed in various competitions, going as far as the Junior World Cup in Imst, Austria.

In high school, I began to explore my interest in computers and programming. This was during the late 1990s and early 2000s when web development was still in its infancy. Table-based layouts were the norm, and we wrote everything in Notepad long before the days of CSS Zen Garden. Witnessing the incredible evolution of the web from those humble beginnings to the dynamic landscape we navigate today has been nothing short of amazing.

After graduating high school, I attended a technical school to complete a certificate in Internet Essentials. I continued my studies at Vancouver Island University, completing a diploma in Digital Media Technology and Wide Area Technology. During a practicum, I developed a content management system for a local company and worked there on and off for over 15 years.

I currently write code with the talented team at Tighten. I bring a unique perspective to my work and am always excited to take on new challenges.
