I've been an avid cyclist for over a decade. I raced back in the day and now stick to commuting and touring. I also like to do my own maintenance, rebuild a bike here and there, and whenever I get a new bike (again, not as often as I'd like) I usually pick each part out individually and build it from the ground up.

I've been learning web development for some time now. I'm self-teaching in my spare time, so it's slow progress.

I've also recently discovered the wonderful world of Linux. I wouldn't call myself a "power user" so it's even slower progress than the web development.

I've been working in libraries for over a decade. I'm currently a Senior Public Services Associate at the Daniel Boone Regional Library.
