About
Hey everybody!
I'm an independent Swift and Apple developer. My company is https://brightdigit.com

I also have a Youtube channel and podcast on Swift development in the Apple Space at https://empowerapps.show.
All my stuff can be found at https://brightdigit.com
When I'm not doing development, presenting, or recording; I'm with my 6 kids probably playing video games.
