About

I've spent about twenty years as a first responder. The job taught me to make decisions under pressure, keep systems simple, and build things that work when it matters.

Off shift, I work with the best team in the world at Priority Business Solutions, a payment processing and point-of-sale company serving small businesses in Southwest Florida, and I build software — tools for firefighters and medics, and products for the payments industry. Everything below is live and built to be used in the real world.
