I’m the creator, author, and voice of Ugly Duckling House™. I started blogging in 2010 with a few crazy stories about what I found as I was renovating my home (the press-on fingernails I found in the fridge still give me chills). I went from your typical 9-6 software job to a full career that is never the same and reaches millions of people each year!
