I’m a full-stack developer living in Ukiah, CA with my wife, our two kids, and two cats.

Working Remotely

I like working remotely for three reasons.

  • Ukiah, California is beautiful and I love walking on my lunch break.
  • I get to spend more time with my family since I’m not commuting.
  • I work better with fewer distractions.
