My name is Mike Magruder, and these are my personal pages. Here you’ll find snowboarding trip reports, pictures and videos of machines that I’ve built for snowboard construction, posts about work I’m doing in The Monkey Shop and around the house, and other stuff that interests me.
My wife, Helen, and I live “in the wilderness” near Carnation, WA with our cat. Check out Helen’s photography at Artgeek Studios.
In addition to my day job as a software developer on Microsoft’s Bing, I’m also an avid snowboarder and the founder of Happy Monkey Snowboards, Inc., which was, until 2010, a very small business where I built custom snowboards by hand.
If you have any questions or comments about anything you find here, feel free to leave a comment and I’ll get back to you.
