Tech Off Playground On
Equestrian. Musician. Competitive Ballroom Dancer. Runner. United States Marine Corps veteran with a lifelong drive for discipline, creativity, and balance. Whether in the saddle, on stage, or on the track, I’m fueled by real-world experiences that shape how I think, teach, and build. When I’m not developing tech solutions or leading training, you’ll find me competing nationally with my German Westphalian Mare Lucy, playing guitar, or training for my next 5K. I believe balance creates better builders — precision from the Corps, connection from the saddle, rhythm from the dance floor, and endurance from the road.
