Background
Wow… where do I start? Grew up in Hannibal, MO, attended college in Quincy, IL. Worked for a local web dev firm there, Carfax here in Columbia, MO, consulting in St.Louis, then back at CARFAX again. I have a zeal for learning new things and helping teams delivery better products. Anything else just ask. 
Interests
I enjoy programming in my free time and spend a considerable amount of time hacking away at open source projects as well as implementing those projects for various clients. My recent interests have included messaging (RabbitMQ specifically), Node.js, NoSQL, and alternative JVM languages such as Scala. You can also occasionally find me at several conferences speaking on some of my passions as well.
Of course, got to balance all of this out with my wonderful baby girl and beautiful wife.
