About Me

Hi, my name is Chris!

I'm a software developer, musician, and a hybrid athelete.

Since the day I started playing violin at age 3, music has always been a passion of mine. I studied Music Education at UW Milwaukee and was a teacher for a year before I discovered and fell in love with programming. Just 7 months after writing my first line of code, I had taught myself enough to land a new job as a Software Developer at Epic.

In my free time, I enjoy lifting weights, distance running, and learning more about programming.

Max deadlift: 345lbs
Fastest marathon: 3h 52m
