I’m a musician and a writer. This site contains some of my short stories and poems.
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, Linux is my daily driver.
My greatest joys come from connecting with friends and family. I find that life, even with all of the difficulties and pain, is full of purpose. The enormous meaning I see in each life grounds me as a person of faith. I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
