What’s the best thing about your job?
Getting to tackle new and challenging problems every day.

My workspace is very cube-like. I try to keep in clean, but I’m usually surrounded by a small sea of post-its that serve as part of my to-do list.
What has been one of your proudest moments working at CiiRUS?
Prior to becoming a developer, I worked as a support specialist, and in my off time, I taught myself programming. So, my proudest moment while working at CiiRUS is when I became a developer.
What do you like to do when you’re not at the office?
I enjoy exploring the outdoors! I go camping, boating, and trail riding every chance I get.

What is something you learned in the last week?
In the last week, I have learned that humans contain enough iron to make a 3-inch nail.
If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
I would pick time control, because who doesn’t want what to turn back the clock.
How do you define success?
Success is looking back at your younger self and wondering if you would be proud of what you have done.
What are five words (or less) of advice for others in your profession?
More work equals more luck.
