My Story

A few years ago, I was starting an exciting life in Florence, Italy.  I taught English in the mornings and tended bar late into the night.  I road my bike through the same streets walked by the Medici family, Leonardo Da Vinci, and home to so much history.  Riding home each night I’d cruise across an empty and moon-lit Ponte Vecchio.  In an instant, that life disappeared. I was clipped by a car one night while riding my bike to work and, suffering a shattered ankle, was flown home to recover in Northern California.

Today, I find myself in San Francisco – an area of technological renaissance and an entrepreneurial hotbed.  I now throw my adventurous energy – the same that took me to Italy – into new businesses and developing web applications.  In all, I’ve seen 5+ years now in software development with roles ranging from software engineering intern to business analyst to project manager.

Here, I will record what I learn along the way as I try to start my own business, recover more fully from a host of leg injuries, climb more mountains, and learn a host of new things I haven’t even thought of yet.  In the end, perhaps some others will find this both interesting and insightful.
