I'm a lifelong learner, developer, father, and husband. Above all, I am a follow of Christ and believe firmly in serving others and the principle of "love thy neighbor".

What's your idea?

2. Jesus said "love your neighbor as yourself".
3. Jesus never coerced.
4. Jesus sacrificed his life for all others. 💌

Life Not As Planned

As we mature, we quickly learn (usually by experience) that life doesn't go as planned. You enroll in university, passionate about astronomy and physics (that was me), but then crash and burn. Oof! So what happened? Well clearly, I just wasn't mature enough. At least, that's…

So what happened? Well clearly, I just wasn't mature enough. At least, that's what I told myself. Or perhaps I told myself that the university I selected was far too challenging.

Curious what's going on in the world? You too can learn with years of publicly collected data across a range of topics. Whether you be an Excel guru or a dashboard visualization expert, throw in some statistics with R or Python, and you've made a powerful brew for seeing the world as it is.
