I’m a musician and a writer. This site contains some of my short stories, poems, and thoughts.
I also serve as a database administrator for Eastern Washington University, where I work on enterprise systems in the cloud. As an open source enthusiast, I run Linux as my daily driver.
My greatest joys come from being a husband and a father. I find that our lives, even with all of the difficulties and pain, are full of purpose. The enormous meaning and worth that I see in everyone I meet grounds me as a person of faith. I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
