About Me

I was born in December of 1976. I have run my own website in some way or another since 1997. See my internet past for more about what I’ve done online. I’ve been involved with computers in some way or another since I was a kid loading DOS from 5.25″ floppy disks, but didn’t become really involved with them until just after high school. See my computing past for more information about my hobby of computing. I consider myself as having gotten off to a slow start in my adult life. I didn’t graduate high-school on time and didn’t go to college until I was 24 years old. I’m a graduate of the University of Utah’s Masters of Social Work program. See my educational past for more about what I’ve done with school. See my resume for more about what I’ve done for work over the years.

The Page Itself

This page was started in November of 2002. Living apart from my family at the time, I thought this was the best way to keep them updated on all of the latest happenings. The page has changed face several times and has been through several software changes. All changes have been noted in the site updates category of the blog. Since its start, the site has been an online accounting of the general goings on in my life.
