Most information about me is available at My Family Website
- I currently attend Brigham Young University, studying Information Technology. I volunteer as a Y Group Leader, helping to introduce new students to BYU. I now work for Imagine Learning, a great company that makes software for English Language Learners.
- I volunteer as a proofer and post-processor for Project Gutenberg & Distributed Proofreader's.
As you can see from my contributions below, my interests are quite varied. I of course am a big technology buff, but my other interests include history, politics/current events, law, music of quite a wide variety, film, and emergency medicine. To name just a few.
