I was born and raised in Western Arkansas. Joined the Navy in 2006 and after 4 deployments, 2 years living in Japan, and a short stint in Virginia I returned to my hometown of Fort Smith, Arkansas. Im still serving in the government, only as a veteran now. I’m actively working towards building community around hackers, makers, and creatives to mesh technology and art together placemaking exciting communities. I believe Bitcoin is changing the world and I hope to leverage that change in smaller communities.  Code is spiritual. Service is life. Here I share ideas, projects, and stories.
