Interests

Apart from being a developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. In the winter, I am an avid snowboarder. During the warmer months here in North Carolina, I enjoy mountain biking, sport climbing, kayaking, and hiking.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies, television shows, and books. I am a former chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring new ways to enhance my culinary skills. My free time in the evenings is spent researching emerging technologies within the development world.
