When that’s not happening I'm usually hanging out with my family or following @aProperCollie around Turner Reservoir in the morning, posting photos on Instagram.

Accomplishments
Former Cat 1 Road Cyclist
1993-01-01
I spent 10 years racing bicycles, 5 of them full-time traveling throughout the US. I typically raced over 100 times a year, and trained year-round wherever the weather was good enough to ride. After reaching the top level of amateur in the US I decided it was time to hang up the cleats and try college.

Sample Talks
Designing for Uncertainty: Rethink Your Design Thinking
Responsive Design is arguably both the biggest step forward and the biggest buzzword in web design today. This talk isn't about building a responsive design; it's about changing how you think about design in the first place. Admit it: you don't know where your design will be viewed – so it’s essential that you know how to design and create buildable, sustainable sites that move and scale from the smallest to the largest screens, regardless of content.
