Me during the Crazylegs Classic 2008

I’m currently an Associate Systems Programmer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Computer Sciences Department. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May, 2010 with a B.S. in Computer Sciences.

My primary personal interest is running. From 2003-2006, I was on Kenosha Bradford’s Track Team where I ran the 110M High Hurdle and 300M Intermediate Hurdle races. I’ve been running when I can since then, and in 2008 I ran my first 8k during the Crazylegs Classic. I ran it again in 2009, 2010, and I anticipate running it again this year.

Eventually, I want to continue my education after undergraduate and get a master’s/doctorate. There is only enough time to cover basics in undergraduate classes, and the only way to learn more about a particular field is to go to graduate school. I’m also contemplating going into research, and I’m hoping a master’s program with a thesis will help me decide if it’s something I want to pursue.

I can be reached via E-Mail.
