"Whatever you are, be a good one"
--Abraham Lincoln
Thank you for visiting! It has been quite a journey to get here, spanning many years and many changes. I began building it in 2018 after I completed a Software Development Certification program. I knew I was't going to work in the field, but wanted to continue coding and developing so I decided to build this. It is simple, but I have come to enjoy working on it. Today may look different than yesterday as I come up with different ideas on what I think it should look like. Poke around a bit, I hope you enjoy what you see.

John Chleborad Headshot
Chleborad [ kleb' -or-ad]

Origin: Bohemian

Native Language of Bohemia: Czech

Meaning: Bread

Chleborad, therefore, would refer to a baker or one who works with or enjoys bread

At one time Bohemia had been part of the Holy Roman Empire. It was bordered by Austria, Bavaria and Saxony to name a few. After WWI it became part of Czechoslovakia and between 1938 & 1945 was joined with Germany as part of a region called Sudetenland. In 1969 the Czech lands were renamed the Czech Socialist Republic and in 1990 became the Czech Republic.

In Pursuit of Change

I believe in change, for without it there would be no progress. With change comes a feeling of uneasiness, apprehension and an unknowing of what the future holds. But when we embrace change, we become better. And the world around us becomes better.
