I believe that the world is changing and building great software will be vital. We, as the software community, have an amazing opportunity to take our profession to the next level. I’ve been a member of a Big Ten championship college wrestling team and have a speech communications degree along with a MS in computer science and an MBA (all from the University of Illinois). I try to take all the lessons I have learned along the way and help build software teams that write excellent code, and enjoy doing it!
