About Me
Originally from Cincinnati, I've been in Aichi, Japan since 2004 (not counting a 1 year stint back home from mid-2005 to mid-2006). I was an English teacher for quite a while here and after discovering my interest in programming, I left the easy-going life of an English teacher in Japan for the soul-crushing life of a web (developer/designer/director). I've worn a lot of hats here.
I'm married to a wonderful woman and have a 6 month old son. I train Brazilian jiu-jitsu and I'm a traditional Stoic.
Things I've Made
My first big open-source project was my scripting library for OminFocus. I've built a bunch of Gridsome and Tailwind-related projects over the last couple years as well. I'm more into React these days, so my future plans are to start sharing some of the little React libraries I've built for my own projects lately and contribute to some Next.js plugins I use.
Current Obsession
I'm super into Remix and Astro right now. I love it because it encourages you to use standard Web APIs and model your communication with the server as tried-and-true form submissions.
