GREAT!! Now that I have you interested in who I am and what I like to do and such, I can proceed to bore you... :-)

No... I wouldn't do that. What would be the point?

OK, now that we all know that I am a poor joke teller, lets get on with the other stuff that you came here for. The three questions above are some of the many that I as myself from time to time. Here is how I've been able to answer them so-far:

As I said earlier, I am one of the many lifetime students of Computer Science. In May of 2002, I completed my studies at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana in the United States. I am a firm believer in the fact fact that one never stops learning. That combined with the volatile nature of the computer science arena, result in my self-classification as a "Lifetime Student." For those of you who don't know me (which may include a significant portion of those of you reading this), I am what I like to think of as a typical Computer Scientist who is looking for a job.

Beyond my academic achievements and projects, I have a multitude of other interests and projects. I have strong interests in Photography, Digital Imagery, Emergency Medicine and Rescue, Bicycling, Low Impact Backpacking and Hiking, Stage Theater, Music, Traveling, Space Exploration, and finally Rock Climbing and Caving. I also take great interests into issues regarding Free Speech, Privacy, Political Reform, and Open Source Software. Furthermore, I am a strong advocate for the widespread use of personal encryption technologies for electronic communication over the Internet. If you are interested in any of these areas, I would suggest that you visit my Sites of Interest page for links to relevant web sites.
