About me

I’m a software engineer residing in Salt Lake City, Utah. I spend my time away from work cooking for my family, planning vacations, reading, eating too much dessert, and thinking about silly posts for this site.

Prior to my foray into computer programming in 1996 I wanted to be a mountain man with a long beard. The closest I ever came to that was this during the global COVID-19 pandemic. I do not regret my choice to go into programming.

About this website

I strongly believe in owning one’s own space and identity online. I sign up for most social media platforms, and even use a few of them, but I don’t love mega corporations owning every thought I have.

I don’t do much with this website, but I still like having it. Who knows, maybe when my kids are a bit older I’ll have more motivation, time, and energy to do something here. No promises.

Where you can find me

I’m popthestack on most major social networks out there, but I’m not that active on any of them these days.
