About Me
I'm working at IBM. I graduated last Summer
(2005) with a Computer Science (BS) degree. I enjoy cars, motorcycles,
computers, and travel. Also there is something to be said for manual
labor and working with you hands, so I tend to do a lot of woodwork,
mechanics, and welding.
I'm a pretty adventurous guy and have a million
crazy stories about things I've done. For a quick recent list I went
to summer camp for 3 years and worked there for 2 years (crazy times),
I've studied abroad in Spain, road a Harley from Austin to Vegas
and back solo, rented a rental car for the soul purpose of destroying
it (hehe) and I've a spent a few weeks hanging out in India. I have
a million other random stories from growing up too (I love to talk),
so likewise I love to tell a good story.
