I was born and raised in Federal Way, WA to a great Christian Family. I have always been a curious type, wondering everything worked. This really led me into working with computers when I was in 3rd Grade. In 5th and 6th Grade, I learned Basic Programming on an Apple IIe as part of our curriculum in school. As I went into Middle school, I began learning about networking and troubleshooting in the school computer lab. In High school I joined a program named “RaiderLinks” which was a program that began integrating the use of Laptops in the classroom. All of our assignments were expected to be done on the computer, most of our research had to be done on the internet, and the labs we were able to use test equipment attached to the computer. This was a great experience for me as gave me opportunities in school that I wouldn’t have had access to most other schools. After High School, I continued my Technology endeavor and enrolled at DeVry University in Federal Way, WA.

Apart from technology and education, during High School, I met the girl that would one day (many years later) become my beautiful wife. We met online in an AOL chat room that was created for the discussion that was of a common interest to both of us. We talked online for nearly a year before getting the opportunity to meet in person. From that day our relationship grew by leaps and bounds. On June 18th 2005 we were married at Community of Christ at St. Luke’s, Federal Way, WA.
