Keyboard enthusiast, traveling

A Keyboard is like a saddle to a cowboy. The saddle outlives the horse and is something that the he takes with him long after the horse is gone. So with a developer, their keyboard will outlive their computer. For this reason, I have built a custom keyboard that I will keep with me for years to come that is truly uniquely my creation specified to my exact preferences to maximize productivity and comfort.

I love to travel. This is what drew me to Airbnb. I traveled the world in my 20's working for Airbnb. I still travel but just much less now that I have a family.
