About Me

My name is Leigh Halliday! I'm currently based out of Toronto (well, Rockwood!), Canada, where I live with my wonderful wife Marian Serna. I am a developer at FlipGive and at ABNORMAL studio. I produce React and JavaScript tutorials on YouTube.

You can reach out to me via email at [email protected].

I love back country camping, travelling, growing sprouts, making guacamole, brewing kombucha, hablando en espańol, doing exercise, and hiking.
