There are two characteristics that fascinate me more than anything else. They are the basis of all my passions, hobbies, and interests. My constant aim to develop them, allow me to call myself an exceptional problem solver, craftsman, and tactician. These characteristics, that I try to adhere to, are being creative and analytical. Being creative you may understand, but being analytical may seem to be a less common choice. Truly though, they go hand in hand. Some of the greatest structures, art, crafts, and books are made by a deep understanding and analysis of core mechanics that are then combined in a way that is not so obviously perceived as before. These masterpieces often inspire and open doors that were never before obtainable.

If you couldn't tell by the images and links on this site, one of my favorite pastime activities is chess. Before I head out to work, I normally wake myself up with some caffeine and a couple games of blitz chess. Generally, I enjoy most board games, tending to favor those that have a healthy combination of chance and tactics. Some of my other hobbies are tennis, video games, crafts, hiking, paint-balling, sketching, and reading. I also enjoy fixing things. Although I wouldn't describe myself as a handyman or a mechanic, fixing issues with my car and changing the outlets on walls in the house, are exciting projects. The most unusual interest of mine is fractals, but upon talking with other programmers with a math background, I'm starting to think it's not that uncommon.

I received my Bachelors of Science in Mathematics from Bethel College in Mishawaka, Indiana. My goal is to pursue tasks that allow me to take up new challenges and promote constant learning. I would like to work with a professional team where I could flourish in gathering information, brainstorming solutions, interpreting data, and completing challenging projects. My strong suits are mathematics, economics, and computer science. I am excited to grow and experience new opportunities around each corner.
