With a degree in Adventure Sports and a winter seasonal job teaching skiing in Aspen, I probably don`t meet many people`s expectations of a computer geek. I certainly meet the technical definition, however. I started tinkering with web design when I was 10, built my first website for a middle school project, and was running Linux as my preferred OS before I wrote my first high school research paper. Two years of Architecture school taught me a little bit about design, introduced me to the full suite of Adobe products, and the resultant caffeine tolerance has ruined coffee`s stimulant value for me forever. Craving sleep and a return to 30+ day ski seasons, I dropped out of Architecture, got my shiny-sounding Associates of Applied Arts and Sciences: Adventure Sports Leadership and Management with its equally pompous Dual-Concentration in Snowsports Instruction and Challenge Course Facilitation and Management, and spent half a decade learning how not to make a living in the Outdoor Industry. All the while, I nurtured my inner geek, learning command line Linux administration, front-end web development, and tinkering with PHP, MySQL, and networking technologies. In 2014, I tried (and failed) to develop and deploy a database-driven paperwork system to track Merit Badge completion at the Boy Scout summer camp where I was Aquatics Director. The lessons I learned in that project have catapulted me down the dark path that may forever dominate my destiny. So here I stand, the pendulum swinging back from athlete to geek, trying to piece together a living with a very peculiar set of skills. ©
