I am an aspiring Software engineer. I want to eventually be a Full-Stack Engineer after I get a good grasp on Java and its frameworks. I am doing a mix of freeCodeCamp, Udemy, Coursera and Youtube tutorials for my learning. I am also building small projects working on practical applications of what i have learned. If you are wondering how I am set up here is a link to what I use.

I am a farrier by trade currently. I have been a truck driver and a bore machine locator in previous occupations. I decided to go down this path because I like to create things and also like a challenge.

I am based out of Southwest Missouri and live on a farm with my lovely girlfriend. Together we have 20 goats, 7 horses, 2 calves we are raising for saddle cattle, 3 dogs and a cat. Some of my interests are working on cars and trucks, Upland bird hunting, fishing and watching open wheeled racing (sprint cars, midgets, micro sprints, Indy cars and F1).
