I started as a software programmer for a Fortune 500 company and evolved over the years into roles as an innovative technical leader as well as a bootstrap business leader. I find great satisfaction in leading small development teams that build custom applications from start to finish. I take great pride in perfecting and fine-tuning development projects to create production-ready software that exceeds the expectations of my clients.My other passion is mastering my golf game and reclaiming the coveted family championship title from my extended family members. I also like volunteering as a coach with the local First Tee organization, teaching life skills through the game of golf to young people in the greater Grand Rapids area. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree from Central Michigan University and a Master of Science in Information Technology from DePaul University.
