I am a Principal Software Engineer, working for Skyward, Inc. in Stevens Point. I have worked with Skyward for over 15 years and have had the pleasure of living in Central Wisconsin for the majority of my life.I believe that successful software development depends on a combination of strong technical talent and a strong command of the product lifecycle. I apply this view at work every day by working with other developers to improve their technical talents, critiquing code, as well as working to improve and streamline our SDLC to result in the best product possible.In my free time, if it's a beautiful day, you'll find me cycling around town, out on a boat fishing, or watching my dog fly around the backyard like a rocket. If I'm inside, you might find me in my basement doing woodworking or brushing up on my development skills.
