Hello

I love traveling. Somehow nothing quite satisfies like stuffing myself into a metal tube traveling at 500mph to some far-off corner of the world. Food, photography, and writing is up there too.

I first logged onto the web with Trumpet Winsock and a 14,400 baud modem. My first language was English followed shortly by QBASIC. I started consulting when I was 13 and joined the major leagues at Deloitte in 2004 after I graduated from Indiana University with a B.S. in Informatics and moved to Chicago.

I left Deloitte in March of 2007 to pursue my own-startup with a few of my friends by founding Condense, a company that builds useful software.

Today I'm hacking Ruby for our Y Combinator funded startup, Poll Everywhere .
