about me

I'm a full-stack developer based in Louisville, Colorado.

I enjoy tackling complex problems from unique angles and coming out with beautiful, intuitive designs. When I'm not hacking at a keyboard wondering why everything just broke, you'll find me writing ridiculous non-code-y fiction, cooking, or chasing squirrels around while hopped up on coffee.

My single biggest regret is that I only have one life to give for House Stark.

After having too many majors than should strictly be allowed by law in undergrad, he moved on to graduate work in the academic study of religion. He likes to say his studies were academic only and he’s not out to convert anyone to anything, but that simply isn’t true. Ever since discovering The Great British Baking Show he has been relentless in trying to get everyone to convert to weighing their ingredients when baking instead of measuring with cups and spoons like savages. Samples of his cake neurosis below:

fiction writing


A couple books I have stuff in. Buy like eight or nine of each of them. They make great kindling and there are some stories in them too.


Richard Hamp—or “Rick” as they call him in the biz—is an award-winning novelist, though the aforementioned "award" is a participation ribbon for the 2nd grade sack race. He still keeps the accolade on his wall in an effort to impress people--frequently making up outlandish lies about how he got it. Still, he’s managed to publish some silly stories that his mom says are “really special”, just like him. He’s also one of the organizers of one of the local critique groups. Which is odd considering his penchant for dodging any kind of responsibility.
