Bio
Ryan Wolhuter
I've been mentoring Josh for the better part of a year now, and he never stops impressing me. He is dedicated, diligent, and most importantly, always curious. I would have tried to instill my maxim of "how can we do better" into Josh, but he already had that attitude, probably more than I ever will. It was my goal to inspire Josh, but in the end, it was he who inspired me. If you're looking for someone with excellent knowledge of web development, an unquenchable fire for learning, and an infectious sense of humor, then look no further, this is your guy. He has executed every single task I've ever given him in his learning journey way above and beyond what I expected, and I can only imagine how much more he has to contribute tho whoever is lucky enough to work with him next.
