Brief Bio

I've been involved with computers and technology since high school. I attended Chicago Vocation High School where I majored in Electrical Engineering and graduated with honors. I went on to Southern Illinois University, again majoring in Electrical Engineering Technology. Under my own influence, I began to learn HTML web design, Adobe Photoshop and java scripting. In 1997, again under my own influence, I learned computer repair and video editing. I enrolled at the Int'l Academy of Design & Technology in 2000 to obtain my degree in Multimedia. As of June 2007, I have attained my Associates of Applied Science in Multimedia from ITT Technical Institute. I am currently continuing my education at the Illinois Institute of Art and majoring in Interactive Media and Web Design.
