About

Howdy! I’m Devin and I help with enterprise accounts at GitHub. I’m a twenty-something living (working, and playing) in Denver, Colorado. I’ve been known to ski, jog, and brew my own beer.

I’m married to my best friend, Rachel.
I used to help manage things at Crowd Favorite, a small web design and development firm.
I work on the sales and enterprise accounts side of things at GitHub.
I grew up in Colorado, studied here, and see myself living here most of my life.
I love to ski, camp and hike, and I’m slowly learning to golf.
I have visited every continent except Antarctica (but, it’s on the list).
I’m an Eagle Scout (I thought I would be a park ranger when I grew up).
