A little about me

Im new to the tech scene; I have a passion for coding, playing video games, and scuba diving. My passion for coding stems from my love of creating things with my own hands while simultaneously problem solving. Before attending The Iron Yard, I worked in retail for many years while attending college. While attending college I was unable to limit my interests to just one major as I had a thirst for knowledge and was always searching for that next challenge. The inspiration to attend The Iron Yard came from a realization that I could do anything through programming and there would always be that next challenge to overcome.

Always dreaming of the next dive.
