Hello. Welcome to my webpage. Its purpose is many-fold. First, I hope to find a centralized location to store my website so I do not have to keep changing my web address. It is also a place for me to record some pictures and news for family and friends. Finally, it is a place for me to record some of my thoughts that people may find interesting and the little projects I work on. I hope that on occasion I produce something that is useful to someone other than myself. If someone has suggestions or comments, or I simply did something incorrect, please feel free to let me know.

I have been working as a high school programming instructor at the SeaTac OSC, a vocational school. I work as a contract teacher through DigiPen Institute of Technology, teaching Game Programming and Animation. It has been fun, and I have been doing this since the beginning of September. I have been pretty busy and tired trying to keep up with class material, so I have slacked off in my extracurricular activities. However, I am catching up so I may resume my work again soon. Other than that, I am basically working and sleeping and little else.
