During my High School years, I built up my keyboarding skills, allowing me to type at incredible speeds. My record speed, without mistakes, is 109 words per minute. I further went into an introduction to programming class, where I took a leap forward learning Visual Basic 6. This is essentially where my professional coding experience began. I also took an introduction to Information Technology class, learning the basics about computers and networking in general. I had other classes in my interest, including woodworking, automotive, and jewelry. I graduated in 2006 with a High School Diploma.

After High School graduation, I put my programming experience on the side in favor to begin work in the Oriental Rug industry. Starting by simply holding a sign on the street corner for a rug store, my interest was sparked by the complexity of handmade rugs, and started to learn more about them. Soon after, I moved from Portage, Michigan down to Louisville, Kentucky, and continued my work with Oriental Rugs. This is when I came across a cross-over business, RM Innovation, where I was able to apply my recent experience of Oriental Rugs and combine it with my history of programming.

I do a lot of little projects on my own time. Typically writing various software or tinkering with electronics. For example, I've recently repaired a Dell PowerEdge server by replacing a couple capacitors. Or written a software package for markdown document writing. I'm even into things like woodworking, mechanics, jewelry, and much more hands-on stuff.

My future is currently up in the air. I'd like to become an established software engineer and make that my career. However I'm open to anything, so long as I can use my creativity.
