Hmm, personal page. This is where I talk about myself in the third person I guess. I grew up with my twin brother in Orangevale and have lived in California my whole life. Orangevale is a small town, east of Sacramento, with lots of schools and churches and grass. Growing up in Orangevale, my twin brother and I spent a lot of our time in front of a computer and that's lead up to today. My eyes have always lit up when I see something that can either be plugged in, networked, or taken apart. It may sound nerdy but did keep us out of the local 4-H chapter. These days I try to do as much as possible to get away from the terminal in the hopes of saving what vision I have left. Aside from that we did the whole gammit of activities from karate, horseback riding, soccer teams, baseball, cross country running, fishing, hunting, snow skiing, hobbie cat sailing, and uh science olympiads. I got interested in computers pretty early and started going to 2600 meets around junior high, which was nice becuase like I said Orangevale is a little boring. My twin brother Brett and I are currently living in Santa Barbara. Southern California does not get much snow but there are great beaches and surf and did I mention awsome weather? My brother and I went to school together for 12 years then he went to Carnegie Mellon and I went to UC Santa Barbara. While going to UCSB I studied Computer Science, Statistics, and Math, then received a degree in Economics/Mathmatics then entered the 'dot-com' internet world. I cannot say what all this work has lead to but I enjoy almost all aspects of working in IT departments to programming. Other hobbies I spend my time on in Santa Barbara include scuba diving, cars, fishing, kayaking, and just about anything else such as building hovercrafts. That sums up a lot of what has led up to today. My favorite song I would say is Son of a Sailor by Jimmy Buffet, my favorite food is a steak so rare that it still looks surprised, my favorite art is black and white paitings of workers hanging out on the steel beams during contstruction of the Emprire State building.
