Hi! If you are reading this, I’m super excited that you are here! It means you know a little bit about me and you want to know more! I think that is pretty cool.

I’m a Data Scientist and I’m proud to say that. I’ve got some blog posts on this website so you can see what I have done, but I think this space is where I can tell you why I do it. I am happiest when I am challenged intellectually. I love puzzles, board games, and programming. I have always been drawn to math, physics, and finance for this reason.

My education is in Electrical Engineering, but I quickly moved into sales because of my natural business acumen and desire to delight customers. My business skills were a competitive advantage that complimented my technical training, but I had an itch to dive deep into technical problems that was not getting scratched.

I don’t know when I first heard the term Data Science, but I was immediately drawn to it. The intersection of programming, business, and applied mathematics are so intriguing that I knew I had to dive into it headfirst. I enrolled in a Data Science bootcamp where I could have guidance and learn from professionals at an accelerated rate. It was there I learned best practices and developed a portfolio that became the first few posts on this website.

My wife and I fell in love the Pacific Northwest because we believe it is the greatest place to live and work. The combination of high tech and aggressive natural beauty is second to no place else in the world. I feel incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to try and make a living here.

If you made it this far, I’m even more pumped than I was before! You are awesome! have a great day!
