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 […]
Family
I was raised in Newton, Iowa, the original home of Maytag and the Newton Senior High Cardinals. 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, […]
