The picture above is my wife and I on our honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

I am a 34 year old Computer Technician in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the home of the University of Michigan. I commute there from Ypsilanti where I live with my wife and her cat. In August 2008 we got married in Traverse City, Michigan.

Attending Washtenaw Community College since 2005 I have completed a C++ computer programming certificate and in May 2008 graduated with an Associates Degree in Computer Programming.
