I am a Lead Software Engineer, primarily writing Rust code to solve cold cases using DNA. I love small-scale farming. My wife & I run a 13-acre hog and sheep farm to do direct-to-consumer meat product sales. I enjoy playing crosswords and other daily word games. I love to read, learn new things, and am an avid chess player (although I'm rather poor at the game). Hunting and the outdoors hold a huge place in my heart. I am a proud father and husband.
