After my first year of college at SOU in Ashland, Or I decided the small town life was not for me and I moved back to Portland to attend Portland State University. Though young and unguided I still enjoyed much of what I put into my first couple years at school. However, family turmoil stuck my second year in and I took some time off to reevaluate.

It wasn’t for another year that I returned to school, not in Portland but in New York City, where I finished my Bachelor’s.

Years later I needed a change, and decided it was time to return to school, this time to persue a degree in Computer Science. Now, with degree in hand I have already been able to apply many of the lessons learned in school and am slated to return to speak at several of my previous classes.
