Greetings! I'm a programmer and teacher in the midwest United States. I cut my teeth on C++ from the command line in Solaris. I've got decent skills in Java, JS (ES6/ESNext), PHP, Python, node.js, react and many more. I teach game design and am proficient in Unity, Unreal, and Phaser.js. I have a PhD in CS and do occasional research in computer graphics with a focus in image based rendering and photogrammetry (by my primary workload is teaching).

I came to dev because of hacktoberfest! Just finished my four pull requests (all to the Phaser.js code base) and stopped by here to see what's next.

I am also a big advocate of community theater and perform regularly on our local stage. I've directed and run lights and sound for live shows before and I've served on our local theater guild's board. I also have a bachelor's degree in music and sing in a 12 voice early music choir based out of Eau Claire, WI.

I'm a dad too, with two elementary aged kids both with special needs (#exhausting).
