I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO. I went to high school, college, and spent many of my formative years in St. Louis, MO. I am one of three siblings and a dog! My first job as a Developer I in Chicago, IL was at a medical software company focusing on repricing worker compensation claims. Since November 2020, I have been working at Zelis, a fintech healtchare company, as a Junior Software Engineer, supporting and enhancing their web-app. Outside of work, I try to focus on becoming the best person and husband I can be.
