+I am contacting you in regard to the Developer II position. Growing up in the country, I have always
+loved the outdoors and have spent a decent amount of time in camp grounds. Currently, my parents
+spend part of the year as `nomads', traveling the country in a converted Van they built. I am
+intrigued by the work being done at CampLife and would love to discuss the opportunity to be a part
+of it.
+
+As a generational engineer, I have been engaged in engineering the majority of my life, both as a
+hobby, as well as professionally. While I have tangible experience in both mechanical and electrical
+engineering, I have found software engineering to be an excellent conduit for my love of building
+systems. I have high standards for quality solutions that focus on simplicity, efficiency, and
+correctness. While I have an affinity for Rust, I have experience with many other languages such as
+Java, Javascript, and Python.
+
+I love to explore and learn about new things and a majority of my free time is spend doing so.
+Through my hobbies and career, I have developed a diverse knowledge base and wide skill set,
+including a strong understanding of DevOps, containerization, and Unix systems, to name a few. I
+believe this, along with my proficiency for engineering, passion for writing efficient and correct
+code and love for the outdoors, could provide unique qualifications for this opportunity, and I look
+forward to discussing it further.
