JavaScript experts, mentors, speakers

I own and make video tutorials teaching web development for Level Up Tutorials, releasing a new premium series every month. I also co-host Syntax.fm with Wes Bos. Syntax is a popular, light hearted web development podcast that teaches full stack topics while staying fun. I enjoy breaking also known as breakdancing, and have been dancing for over 15 years doing shows for professional NFL and NBA teams. I'm inspired by a hot cup of green tea, excellent music, and Shaw Bros. kung fu movies.
