Those are the quick facts, useful for answering me-related "Who Wants to be a a Millionaire?" trivia after I'm dead (so write them down now). I was born and raised in and around Florida, where I lived in until I left for college in the fall of 2000. I graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in December 2003 with my Bachelors of Science in Computer Science, with specializations in software engineering, compiler design, networking, and information security.

While I attended Georgia Tech, I was involved with a number of organizations. Most people know me through my position as a TA, where I worked with our introductory Computer Science course and became the head TA of the software practicum course (an introductory course in practical software engineering and design). I also moonlighted as a DJ and the computer administrator for our campus radio station, WREK (91.1FM Atlanta).

Currently, I work for Amazon.com, where I manage the Packaging technology team. In the past I worked for GE Energy in a variety of locations, most recently for their Nuclear division in Wilmington, NC. After hours, I am the treasurer for the Seattle Georgia Tech Club.

In my free time I hang out with Kelly (my wife), take photos, cook, read, work out, run, and search for amazing hard to find craft brews.

That's probably more information than you really wanted to know, but if you find yourself wondering about anything else, feel free to ask. Use the "Contact Me" link above to find ways of reaching me.
