The path to reinvention isn't easy, but it is an amazing adventure to experience. Leaving the securities of an established career as a medical professional, I decided to pursue a new passion. However despite the excitement and anticipation of a new life challenge, I was not prepared for what lay ahead. The level of passion and commitment I have developed as I've learned my new craft is exhilarating and a breath of fresh air. No longer do I stand on the sideline of conversations revolving around "loving what you do". Indeed building applications and tackling the challenges encountered along the way to a finished product, are all I can imagine doing from here on out.

I'm a Central Floridian since 2004, but being raised in South Florida, the Sunshine State has been in my blood long before that. This has left a healthy interest in travel; which I'm glad to say my wife enjoys as well. When I'm not coding or learning about code; I can be found cycling or at the gym. I have also been known to be passionate about sports, and to a lesser degree, trying new restuarants around town. Although I'm guessing you'd be hard pressed to find someone that doesn't enjoy good new cuisine! My Maltese, two Dachshunds, Sun Conure (parrot), and most importanly my wife and I, thank you for taking the time to learn a little about us! Have a spectacular day.
