What are you doing?

This is a now page. If you have your own site, you should make one, too.

When Twitter X first arrived on the scene, it had one mission: answer the question, “What are you doing?” It has instead become a cesspool of hot takes and pot shots at others. You won’t find me posting there; instead, I try to keep this page up to date with the important highlights of what I’m up to.

This is what I’m doing as of January 15, 2024.

👨‍👩‍👦‍👦  Family

I’m still living in Burleson, Texas (just south of Fort Worth) with my wife and three kids. Working from home for the past several years has been a huge blessing; I’ve been able to be there for the big moments and the tough times. I’m able to greet my kids when they come home from school and help them with various things throughout the day. The random hugs and surprise meeting crashes are always fun.

I’ll never go back to working in an office full time. At least until my kids are older and want nothing to do with me. 😅

👨‍💻  Work

I’m currently looking for work as a Software Engineer. My specialties are Ruby and Elixir, but I’m open to other languges as well. See my history and accomplishments on LinkedIn

⛪️  Church

I’m actively involved at Burleson Bible Church:
