Ready to Graduate

After enduring a grueling four years at the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign , I am ready to graduate. Having lost countless hours of sleep to perennial favorites such as ECE411 and ECE440, I have convinced myself that I want to have no part of electronics or computer design.


South side of the Union, 11.4.07

Having actually experienced four Midwest winters, I have realized I need a more temperate climate. When a peacoat on top of a thick hoodie along with two layers of pants isn't enough layers to keep you warm, it's time to move (or possibly invest in better winter clothing). I was also on hand for the unbelievable closing of UIUC for two straight days due to a blizzard. Of course, my buddy Michael Welburn and I spent those two days not sledding on the imaginary hills here or drowning ourselves in alcohol like the rest of campus. We were safe and warm in Everitt Lab, finishing up homework and a machine problem. Thank you ECE.

I am also part of Theta Tau Professional Engineering Fratnernity, a co-ed professional society that was re-activated by my group of friends and I after over a 50 year absence from campus. That, along with school, was more than enough to keep me busy and (mostly) out of trouble.
