About Me
My name is Scotty Ruth, I am a Jesus-follower, family-man, creative app designer and developer.
I started making iOS apps two years ago, and I've chronicled many of the highs and lows of my experiences here in this blog.
In 2011 I started BraveBit App Studio, doing independent app development and consulting.
