Figured out the problem.  I had bread boarded power and reset buttons to test outside of the case, rather than having to bridge the pins every time.  I continuity tested the power button, but not the reset button.  The reset button was turned by 90 degrees, so both the high and low pins of the switch were on the same row, shorting the power button.  Somewhat embarrassing it took me this long to figure out.  Components were and are fine.

 

TL;DR reset button was effectively being constantly held down
