I’m Chris, AKA Lenwood.

I’m an engineer who loves data. I live in Texas and prefer to be outside when I can. I’m married and have 3 amazing kids.

I am a Christian, I have placed my faith in Jesus Christ as savior. I have salvation by grace alone through faith alone. Sanctification is a long process. I pray a lot. And read the bible quite a bit as well.

I enjoy hiking, I play guitar, mostly electric and sometimes acoustic or bass. I enjoy smoking briskets for friends and family. I have a pilot’s license but I haven’t flown in a long time.

This blog has been my first and longest surviving web project. I’ve created several other sites focused on hobbies or interests, but this is the one that stuck. My first post was in 2004, though I’ve pruned quite a bit of my older content.

I work as an analyst and engineer for my alma mater, The University of Texas at Austin*. I love my job, I can’t believe that I get to do interesting work in such a beautiful setting. My work is a combination of business intelligence, energy analytics, power plant engineering and full stack development. I love all of these things and frequently get up early to dive in.
