Born in California and raised in Utah, Missouri and Tennessee I went on to live in Hawaii, then joined the Air Force and saw a chunk of the world.  I grew up loving and living in the outdoors and I continue that passion today with my family.  In my youth I worked on ranches and began breaking horses when I was 14, today I live on a small 2 1/2 acre farm where we have an acre garden and raise about 40 animals including horses, a Llama, sheep, goats, chickens and rabbits.  I am the oldest of 7 kids, my Mother comes from a family of 9 kids.  I currently have 8 and we're not declaring ourselves done yet. 

When I was young I was heavily exposed to computers and began learning QBasic.  By the time I was 12 I was writing my own programs.  When I joined the Air Force at 19 I became an Information Specialist and began refining my programming skills.  After the military I attended College studying Computer Science and Business.  I soon began working as a Business Analyst and Software Engineer.  Over the years I became an expert at analyzing a business' processes and creating solutions for them, then I would write the software to implement that solution.  Along the way I started The Gatherers (General Automation Technology, Human Error Removal, E-Commerce Resolutions Specialists) and worked independently as a contractor.  This continued for 6 years until Paul Allen offered me a position as the COO for his Internet Incubator, Provo Labs.  After Provo Labs was realigned to a holding company, I started my own venture, 42Co.

I am currently the CEO of 42Co where we are building an awesome new product called TagJungle.
