Day Job is Going Great

I've been at my company for almost two years now and really settled into my Lead Software Engineer role. I've been doing projects centered around making the whole web application better than it was before; stronger, faster. Along with that, I've been helping to mentor and develop the other developers by sharing what I know and lessons I've learned from my way-too-many years of experience in this industry.

Full House

We've mostly adjusted to life with the full house, since the Goldsboro family had to move in. It's been almost two years there, too. We traded in the truck for a mini-van that can hold everyone, and traded in my super sexy sports car for a Jeep, because Mrs. H has always wanted one.

It's a little hectic at times, but we've settled into a routine and having the family around is really nice. We try to have meals around our giant table several times a week and that's been lovely.

The (now) 10-year-old did baseball summer camps, took lessons and played in the summer league as catcher, a position he has grown to love. We took him to see Shohei Ohtani hit 3 home runs and strike out 10 in the Dodgers' NLCS Game 4 clincher against the Brewers. He made the team again this year and his skills and team spirit are really improving.

AND, he's playing drums now, too. And so is his little brother, who's not quite two yet. Awesome.

Yes, I'm Still Playing Drums!

I've joined my good bass player from Scratch Track, working on covers and original music with one of the projects he's involved with called Forest Rising. It's more than official now; I got a custom bass drum head. We are booked all through the rest of the year. The gigs and venues are steady. Check the website for upcoming shows!
