about

I was raised in Central Connecticut as a third-generation Norman Rockwell painting. As a precocious boy who didn’t like to sleep, my parents made one of several key mistakes when they decided to allow me to purchase a copy of “The Mask” starring Jim Carrey. I’ve considered myself a hacker ever since the age of 9, when I correctly guessed that my father’s AOL password was “MenInBlack”. Despite this clear aptitude for computer science, I spent most of my young life trying to be an actor, followed up by a temporary stint as an academic. After “Graduating” “College”, I set out to make a life for myself in a field that went nowhere before packing all my things, moving to Boston, and sleeping on a friend’s couch. That friend taught me to code, and things have worked out since.

I like board games, “Weird” Al Yankovic, and the 2010 DreamWorks animated picture film “Megamind”.
