I was born in beautiful Milwaukee, Wisconsin in June, 1973. I grew up first in Addison, Illinois, then Wheaton, which has the highest number of churches per capita in the country. My dad was a DEA agent, so I have many mugshots from my childhood, and we used to play in a surveillance van with a missile launcher mounted in it. I love Chicago, and apart from here and the tropics, it’s probably the only other place I’d consider living.<\/p>\n

My dad was transferred back to his hometown of Minneapolis in 1984, and that’s where I’ve been since. I went to Rosemount high school (I technically graduated from Eagan, though I didn’t really go there), and have a BA in Russian from the University of Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Since then, I’ve spent most of my work life as a professional nerd. I went from tech support to network administration to web development to database administration to software development. I’m primarily a .NET developer, and my current focus is ASP.NET MVC, Entity Framework, SQL Server, Razor, jQuery, Ajax, and the Twitter Bootstrap framework. I’ve owned and sold a house, lived in various apartments and homes around south Minneapolis, done a ridiculous amount of traveling, had\u00a0 a million hobbies and awesome friends, and met the love of my life, Matt. We got married in September 2011.<\/p>\n

Matt and I have always wanted to live on an island, be as near the ocean as possible, and eventually own a beach bar. In October 2015, we packed up everything we owned and drove a moving truck 2,000 miles to our new home in Key West. I’m not going to say it’s 100% perfect here, but it’s at least 99% perfect.<\/p>\n

Things are very good, and they just keep getting better.<\/p>\n

Why is this site called Chocolate Mussolini? It’s always been called that. Since, like, 1997. Stop asking questions.<\/div>\n
