I like to be impactful, and stagnation is my probably the one thing that frustrates me most. I make a conscious and concentrated effort to understand the bigger picture well enough to know which little pictures need better resolution -- and then to fill in those missing pixels as efficiently as possible.
In previous (and perhaps future) lives I've been a mechanical engineer, a machinist, and an EMT; I've directed musical theatre, I've been certified as a firefighter, and I've moved across the country on a motorcycle. I love learning, and am a meticulous communicator; I apply myself to whatever field I find myself in, and usually enjoy them all!

I've written VBA plugins for Excel and Solidworks. It's not the worst language, but it's definitely not my favorite.
