About Jeremy

My name is Jeremy and I currently reside in the Southwest Missouri city of Springfield and have been doing so for far longer than is considered healthy by most. I have been working with computers since before they could easily talk to each other to plot my demise. My current employer is a large Internet infrastructure corporation, but in a past life, I ran a small software studio and consultancy called Central Standard out of an old, beat-up camper in my backyard.

Being on the move and seeing new places, two things that I find increasingly difficult to do these days gives me energy. If given a choice, I’d often rather be sitting in a middle seat of a cramped six-hour flight across an ocean than sitting in a costly ergonomic chair, staring at the screen of a $2,500 computer. It’s a personal quest of mine to leave my home country of the United States at least once a year.

Prone to tinker and start new hobbies, I often suffer from intense bouts of executive dysfunction and focus mismanagement. Periodically, people can exploit these spells of hyper-focus and even sometimes, when it benefits them, pay me vast sums of cash to utilize this state of being. However, these folks typically can’t understand why I’m incapable of enabling (or disabling) this feature of my brain on a whim. This is something I can sympathize with.
