A Little History
At a very early age I fell in love with computers, I think it initially started with the fact that I could bypass my horrible handwriting.
Jump forward several years, I am now a junior at Kansas State, getting two degrees focused on Computer Systems Technology and Web Development.
With my whole life ahead of me, I am confident I can continue to follow my love of computers, wherever my career may take me.
My Interests
My time not spent spent in class, doing homework, or working usually involves exercising, watching TV or movies, or checking google news (I am quite religous about it!). I have also been known to do my fair share of gaming, Call of Duty or Left4Dead anyone?
I also enjoy my fair share of outdoors activities, my favorite being hiking. Unfortunately, living in Kansas monumentally limits this interest. Swimming is a very close second, much more readily available in Kansas!
Current Projects
This is the project my group has chosen for our Web Development Project class. We are completely overhauling the existing website, which has not been majorly updated since 2001.

Current Status - Information Gathering and Layout Design
Past Projects
This was my final project for my Web Development 2 class during my sophomore year. It unfortunately never went live, as the client didn't have the time to devote the project.
