Projects

The Blackwood Chronicles

This a completely original project. It shows the ability to create a responsive website, use jQuery, and that I have a strong understanding of HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. (Update in progress)

Wedding Website

This a completely original project designed for moble fisrt using jQuery, HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. This is how I would have designed my wedding website had I the skills at the time.

Class Select Website

This a completely original project meant to challange myself to use jQuery. I wanted to create selection menu that grew as you picked which "class" and "sub-class" you wanted to learn about

My Story

  • Education

    I graduated from Iowa State in 2015 with Bachelor's of Science segrees in Global Resource Systems and Forestry with a minor in Horticulture

  • Love

    While at Iowa State I fell In love with a beautiful woman who had two years left of grad school, and wanted to stay in Iowa close to family.

  • Web Development

    I've been looking for, and failing to find, a natural resource job for over a year now becuase I live in the only state without a national park (yes, even Nebraska has one). I decided to try something new; learn Web Development.

About Me

Dont't let my Natural Resource background fool you, I'm a nerd (or a geek? I'm never sure which) and gamer through and through. I grew up playing videos games and still do (PC Master Race!), I wrote a 500 page fantasy novel (I'm not saying it's tolken caliber), and I dungeon master Dungeons and Dragons for two different groups (snarky comment is unnecessary for this one).

Experience

I don't have the traditional web development background but I do have desire, determination, drive. I spend hours everyday learning and pacticing HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, jQuery, and others. I will keep learning until I have a career in the web development field.

Passions

I've developed a deep passion for creative endeavours and pour myself into them for, days, weeks, and in the case of my book, years at a time. I seek to improve everyday and delight in learning new things, which is what draws me to web development. Each day, I learn more, I improve, and I become a better person and web develeoper.

  • Desire

    I want to do something I care about. I don't want to spend each day going to a job I dislike just so I can pay my bills. I want a career I'm proud of. I want to be excited waking up every morning because I love what I do and go to sleep with a sense of accomplishment.

  • Determination

    I wrote a novel while a full-time student with a part-time job. The project took me four years but I sacrificed my free time because it was something I wanted to achieve. I've also gone from zero HTML and CSS experience to creating this site.

  • Flexibility

    I've spent a combined 18 weeks in Uganda and China. I learned how to be humble, have an open mind, and work through any sort of problems that arise. I don't give up easily and try everything I can to solve a problem.
