Writing

My current work

I currently work as the lead maintainer for Maybe Finance, a commercial open source personal finance app written in Ruby on Rails. I have been involved with this project since late-2021 and have seen it fail, rise from the dead, and turn into a thriving open source project. It's a long story; you can read more about it here.

Golfer at heart

While I've had far less time to play in recent years, golf has always been a big part of my life. I played collegiate golf for The University of Akron from 2013-2017 and had the privilege to see some of the most beautiful places on earth and compete against some of the best college golfers in the country. It was an incredible experience.

During my time as a collegiate golfer, I created The DIY Golfer, a golf blog turned golf instructional website that I've been running since 2015.

More recently, I built Local Golf Spot, a website dedicated to helping golfers find the best golf courses, driving ranges, instructors and more.

Full Stack Foundations

My web development YouTube channel has reached 2M+ students and I have helped several land jobs in tech and develop a passion for writing code.

Full Stack Foundations is a website I created to host all of my web development tutorials in one place.
