Software Engineer at UNAVCO, working on neat Geodesy stuff.
Owner, Boulder Pilot, LLC, offering transition training, ferry pilot services, and experimental flight test consultation in Western North Carolina and the Rocky Mountain area.
Competing in International Aerobatic Club contests throughout the US (mostly on the East Coast) in my Pitts S-1S. See my results here. Proudly sponsored by Ingenious Coffee Roasters on Main Street in Marion, NC.

GitHub repositories for longer projects. Some repos are actually teaching materials organized in the spirit of a software project, because teaching is programming. And I love teaching and explaining as I’m learning while leaving a record beind, if only to help externalize memory.
bl.ocks.org for interactive visuals, code snippets, and bite-sized explainers. Often made to teach myself. These are updated frequently and more often than not reflect a day’s effort at playing with a new idea. In the same veign as Mike Bostock’s examples, these blocks help me to break a larger project into smaller self-contained explainers. It’s a good day when I can upload another one of these; like building blocks, these tend to be part of larger and more involved structures.
Observable Notebooks. My latest work has been a series of interacive tools built for UNAVCO to support the geoscience and geodesy scientific communities; get data, share data, explore data, and find pedagogical tools built to explain what we can do with geoscience data (mostly high precisison GPS/GNSS archival and realtime data).
