About Lance

Growing up, I was far more interested in math, science, and books than I was in people. I spent most of my free time at home with family. When I started college, I majored in physics-astronomy because it sounded the most fun. It was indeed fun, but I decided to change majors after taking a "careers in physics" seminar (I'm happy to talk about that more if you want). My brother recommended computer science, so I switched to that, added animation as an emphasis, graduated, and started my career (in traditional programming, not animation, which I'm also happy to talk about). About one-and-a-half years after starting work, I became mildly interested in management and asked to be a team lead to try it out. I was given the opportunity and found that I really liked managing people. I stayed on that path over the following years, and I continue to get great satisfaction out of coaching people and helping them grow. I still love math, science, and books (ask me about my library), and I am now also fascinated by people and their motivations, desires, actions, and values.
