I’m a husband, a dad, and a front-end web developer
A husband: Sharon, the world’s most brilliant reading specialist and #1 Best Mom™, has been my partner in (and mostly out of) crime for 17 years now.
A dad: Sharon and I have three boys and I cannot say enough about how fantastic they are; kind, respectful, helpful, caring of others … what I’m realizing as I type this is they’re just young, male versions of Sharon.
A front-end web developer: My two talented business partners and I run The Outfit, where we create everything from large web applications to small marketing websites; every one of them resilient, fast, and accessible. I write most of the HTML, CSS, and (simple) JavaScript while the other two handle the actual difficult work.
P.S. We’ve been running The Outfit for 12 years and we’re quite proud of it.
Lately…
I wrote yearsSince on , and the last book I’ve read is Fugitive Telemetry, by Martha Wells.
More of my writing, and more of what I’m reading.
