Professional Experience
Missouri Jobs with Justice; March, 2010 - December, 2015
At my first big kid job, I had to figure out a lot about basic html. Mostly it was making images look and align how we wanted, creating links and anchors in an email, and basic font changes. We used Salsa, Wordpress and Action Network.
GPS Impact/Protect MO Families; January, 2016 - May, 2016
I briefly worked at a similar organization, also doing some communications work. We used Voter Voice.
LaunchCode; May, 2016 - present
After expressing interest in computing programming to a friend, he recommended I do some research on LaunchCode. I enrolled in the "Hello, World" class and Summer of Code. Here we are.
A Fun Trip I Recently Took
This past winter, my girlfriend April & I went to Vail, CO for a ski trip. I used to live there, so I know how to cut some corners and not pay full price for everyting. Vail is very expensive.
Coincidentally, April's roommate Annicka was going to Colorado to ski with her family during the exact same time as we were. So we all carpooled together. Here's a picture of April, Annicka and I in Salina, KS. On the road!
Here is a picture of April & I on Vail's mountain.
Here's another of us being silly on the mountain.
A Passion Or Hobby of Mine
BICYCLES!!!!!!
I like to ride bicycles. I don't ride as much as I used to, but I still do love to ride bikes.
This is a picture of my fastest bike. It's a beauty.
This is another bike I own. It isn't exactly the same as the one shown below, but it is the same year and color. I've taken this bike on several bike trips across parts of Missouri via the Katy Trail.
Briefly, I was on a bicycle racing team. We raced at the Velodrome on North Kingshighway. Here's a picture someone took of me while I was admiring the fast bicycle riders.
Quotes
Here's some quotes I like. I'm just experimenting with tags at this point.
...while there is a lower class, I am in it; and while there is a criminal element, I am of it; and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
Eugene V. Debs
Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.
