Hello and welcome! My name is Jesse Storimer.
I'm a programmer of computers who can't help but tinker with them every chance I get.
When not programming I'm into hiking, anything outdoors, self-sufficiency, gardening, reading books, and being a proud dad and husband.
You can find me on Github, Twitter, or else send me an email.
