Programming-Related Interests:
I am greatly interested in Artificial Intellgence for games. I hope to someday get the opportunity to work on and design interesting game agents that show emotion and can be torn between their rational thinking and their emotions.

I also have an interest in serious gaming. I believe games can be more than just a form of entertainment and so I hope to get an opportunity to make some fun educational, controversial, or activism-driven games.

I don't enjoy some of the ultra-violent video games that I've seen and played. There is a just a level of violence that seems to be for the sake of violence and takes away from the gameplay.

I enjoy writing code that takes some thought and is interesting. I am also very interested in software design and architecture and hope to refine my skills in graduate school.

About Me:
My family and friends are very important to me. I try to spend as much time with them all as possible. I love to watch my neices and nephew grow up. They say the craziest things.

I greatly enjoy playing sports, with my favorites being football, soccer, and basketball.

I recently started learning to play the Harmonica. It has been fun and interesting and I hope to get skilled enough to play some Blues music.

I also enjoy playing games (of course). My current favorites are Halo 3, Resident Evil 4, Rock Band and Guitar Hero, and Risk via email.
