I punch bears* and help developers be more awesome.

I teach, motivate, entertain, and lead developers to work smarter, build fantastic solutions, and become indispensable members of their teams and communities.

*Metaphorically speaking. I enjoy being courageous, tackling hard problems, being entrepreneurial, and fighting for truth, justice, and the Developer Way.
