Tech
After being talked into the field of Computer Science by a tour guide at Midland Luthern College in Fremont, Nebraska, I joined the program at Simpson College in 1998 and got my first computer ever that Christmas. Though I got a late start, I dove in head first. I received my Bachelors in Computer Science […]
Sports
I’ve grown up a sports junkie. I’ve always loved baseball, but football has been the sport that has giving me the most opportunities. I played both of those in college as a Simpson (IA) Storm. Previous to that I played football, basketball, soccer and baseball in high school for the Newton Cardinals. Also either in […]

After getting my Bachelors in Computer Science from Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, my wife Amy and I started a family in Omaha, Nebraska, Her hometown. We have a son, Graham, daughter, Flynn and a loving Golden Retriever, […]
Moving…
I/We are officially moving. We’re moving houses as well, but I was talking about my blog. It has been hosted with Newtek (formerly Crystaltech, http://thesba.com/) and running on BlogEngine.NET (http://dotnetblogengine.net/) for years and it seems like I spent more time updating it then posting. I know that’s mostly my fault since I enjoy the technical side […]
Interesting approach for Quora
I’m no writer, and really I’m not much for answering or asking questions on Quora, but I love to read it. I could easily go down the rabbit hole and spend all day reading questions and answers on here. It seems like everyone is a master at something. I’m sure I could be helpful in […]
Great weather for a March baseball game
We got tickets to Creighton’s 1st baseball game of the year. I don’t think I’ve been to any college games with better weather, especially on March 13th.
My Playing Career
I am originally from Newton, IA. I grew up playing any sport I could. I started playing YMCA soccer at 5 years old, flag football and basketball at 9. I also started tee ball at 5 and baseball was always my favorite sport. For soccer, I got involved with NASA, the Newton Area Soccer Association, […]
Opening Post
I've been deciding how I want to approach this for far too long. So I figured it's time to hit the ground running. I have so many ideas, that I would probably never be able to do all of them, but I want to do the best I can. We'll just have to see what […]
Google CR-48 Cromebook
I got home the other day and saw a package on the front step. I didn't think much of it, I kinda have an addiction to ordering stuff off of Amazon. Then my wife said, "What'd you get now?". I got to thinking, I haven't ordered anything in a few days, I wonder what it […]
Opening day at TD Ameritrade Park
I had the chance to attend the opening night game at TD Ameritrade Park. The Creighton Bluejays played the Nebraska Cornhuskers in some frigid weather. I’ve been to a lot of baseball games, but this was one of the coldest. I even talked my wife into staying for the whole game. Its a good thing, […]
