About Me

View of Hog Island off of Prince Edward Island, Canada

I live on an island in the Atlantic ocean with my wife and two daughters. I'm the founder & CEO of Tina.io, an open-source Content Management System. I'm also a volunteer coding instructor, a bread baker, and I love playing outside whenever I can. This is my corner of the web where I write things.

Values

Here are a list of my values. I'm deliberately not including things here that most people aspire to, like "integrity". These are more like characteristics that I appreciate.

• Curiosity
• Resourcefulness
• Creativity
• Play
• Skepticism

Quotes

I love quotes. They can provide clarity to parts of life that might seem blurry. My highschool year book quote was:

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"

20-some years later, my friends still poke fun at me for that one...

Here are some of my favorites quotes

• "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now." - unknown

• "Every saint has past and every sinner has a future"

• “We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life. All that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.” ― Albert Einstein

• "If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men and women to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry?
