Hi I'm Will. I was born in Salt Lake City Utah, but currently live in the greater Seattle metro area. I'm 35 years old and have loved programming since I was a freshman in high school. I was born into an unusual family and grew up with many brothers and sisters. Like, think of a number and I probably have more siblings than that. I have lived most of my life in the stat of Utah, but I've also had the pleasure of living in wonderful places such as California, Virginia, and of course Washington.
My Work History
I have had a varried number of jobs so far in my life. From my first job to now I have been a pizza delivery guy, a QA tester at a software firm, Then a couple of software developer positions at two different companies. I went through a divorce and my tech career suffered and I jumped around working as a fry cook, a chimney sweep helper, I worked in a warehouse for a catering company and shortly became the manager. Then I worked at a window factory loading up trucks to be delivered all over the country, then moved across the state to make the last leg of those window deliveries in a box truck to work sites all over the greater seattle metro area. I did a short job at a startup in Bellevue as a full stack dev, that was a tough job, but they ran out of money so I went back to a manual job working on gas meters. Now I'm unemployed working on completing the Codefellows bootcamp!

My Education History
I am the only one of my mothers children to earn their high school diploma, I know it's not much but it's something that is important to me. During high school I attended a concurrent course during my last two years where I learned programming for half of the day at a place called Jordan Applied Technology Center. I have attempted college a couple of times but life ultimately overcame my attempts and I did not ever complete my first year.
