A bit about me

Who i am

I'm an avid outdoorsman, hiker, and birder. I have a passion for conservation and companies who are aligned with my values. I am a passionate reader and I'm currently reading through "Why Machines Learn" by Anil Ananthaswamy, and "Coding Democracy" by Maureen Webb. I frequently hike in and around all of Appalachia with my fiance Liz Vacha, and our eight year old west highland terrier Hummer. Hummer is often the avatar or the profile photo on most of my online accounts and is the main character of the game that I'm building in java.
