After growing up in Central Maryland and enjoying the fruits of a successful high school lacrosse career, I went on to attend college in Pennsylvania at Messiah College to continue that passion and get an education.
After graduating from Messiah in 2011 with a Bachelor's of Arts in Sport Management and Communications, I started my college coaching career back at my alma mater and returned to school to pursue a Master's Degree in Collegiate Sports Administration.
With a degree in hand I went on to continue coaching. I picked up and moved to Wilmore, Kentucky, just south of Lexington, and started a program at Asbury Univeristy.
This is kind of where we pick up the story. After four years as the Head Men's Lacrosse Coach and Sports Information Director at AU I decided to take a leap of faith and head out on a career change. I enrolled in a web-development bootcamp at Awesome Inc., in Lexington. During that time I spent 12-intensive weeks in what I thought was learning to develop web applications with the likes of Javascript and PHP and their frameworks. Since then I've spent the last year-plus working as a Full Stack Developer Full-Time, primarily developing custom software with the likes of React-Redux, Django (Python), and the CMS Drupal 8. Additionally I have spent time in Squarespace and Wordpress for a few clients along the way.
Below you'll find an overview of the skills I've picked up along the way as well as a few examples of work I've done in the past.

React, Redux, Python, Django, Javascript, AngularJS, PHP, and more. What makes the website run from the inside is just as important, and interesting, as what's on the outside.
Begin with a blank canvas with an end goal in mind and allow the content that you bring to the table fill up the pages for a beautiful design. I spent some time aspiring to be a graphic designer, so some of that training certainly helps!
Improved workflow is always the goal, whether on a team or working on a personal project. I've used plenty of tools of the trade!
