About Jed

I’m a native of Las Vegas. My wife, Sarah, and I have three sons. With all the activity around our house, there’s not much time for hobbies. When a free moment arrives, I like reading, bike riding, playing with computers, and listening to music. I spent several enjoyable years coaching a FIRST LEGO League Robotics team. You can see more about my team by following the links on the links page to the websites I did for them. These days, I’m enjoying outdoor activities with my son’s Boy Scout Troop 256.
