Ever since I was a little kid I've been fascinated by technology, but it wasn't until high school when I saw the movie Big Hero 6 in theatre that I really developed a passion for it. I realized that coding gave me the ability to enact change and make my ideas come to life. When a Python Computing class began being offered at my high school I registered immediately. I excelled in the course work and even began teaching myself JavaScript during my spare time, but computer science wasn't my only passion. I was also very involved in my high schools music program and excelled on my instrument, the Trombone. I was accepted into various honor bands which won me acclaim in my small town, including the Northern Ambassadors of Music which toured through Europe the Summer of 2017 as well as the Carnegie Hall Honors Performance Series where I performed with musicians from 48 states at the notorious Carnegie Hall in New York City. Following my success as a musician I decided to attend Montana State University - Billings for Music Education where I studied for two years. I loved performing but it did not give me the same satisfaction that coding did, so after two years studying Music Education I decided to make a change and pursue Computer Science. My wife and I moved to Bozeman, MT in 2021 so that I could earn my Bachelors Degree in Computer Science at Montana State University. During my time at MSU, I've pursued data oriented classes such as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. I also began working as a Service Desk Technician at the student help desk where I developed a passion for IT and helping solve others technical problems. I graduate in May 2025 and I cannot be more excited to continue learning and growing wherever I end up.
