About Me

Since graduating last May from Central College with a triple major in Computer Science, Physics, and Mathematics, I have been enjoying myself as a Software Developer at CMMS Data Group. I had the fortune of being hired at the beginning of a new software application, so I've been able to maintain both our old application, and be there for the beginning of our new program.

During my time at Central I studied a semester in Bangor, Wales and enjoyed getting involved in various aspects of campus. I started all 4 years on the Men's Soccer team, was an active member on the Campus Activities Board, served as a Student Senator, was a leader in the Student Orientation Services, tutored various classes, worked as a technician in IT Services, played in the College/Community Orchestra, was a member on our senior class project, and had a lead role in a theater play! In my free time, I enjoy challenging myself with various projects and play in a variety of sports leagues. Some of the projects I have worked on can be found in the portfolio section!
