I am an IT professional, and have been with the University of Oregon since August 2008. I provide technology support to Faculty and Staff within the school of Architecture & Allied Arts, and have also contributed to the development of a new Drupal-based website. On September 1, 2009, I started a new position with the department of Art, providing dedicated support for non-standard technologies.
I was also a student of the University of Oregon from 2003-2007, and received my Bachelor of Science in Digital Arts. After graduation, I spent a year working for Nordstrom, Inc. in Technology Support Services at the Seattle downtown corporate campus.
I attended Winston Churchill High School in Eugene, OR for about six months, and received my diploma from that school as well. I lived and attended school in Sweet Home, OR from around 1995 to 2002. I was born and raised in Portland, OR from 1985 until 1995.
I enjoy reading, running, and amateur photography. I also spend a good deal of free time with independent IT projects. At the moment, I'm playing with two Ubuntu 9.04 servers and one Fedora 11 server. I hope to get Apple Filing Protocol support working (via Netatalk) to enable me to perform wireless, over-the-network TimeMachine backups.
Generally, I enjoy any book by David Sedaris or Jen Lancaster. I've also recently finished "Where Underpants come from" by Joe Bennett.
On November 1st, 2009 I will be traveling to Beijing, China with my father. We'll be staying less than a mile from Tiananmen Square, and I hope to go for a couple of runs around the historic site. After a week, we'll be heading to Bangkok, Thailand to visit family for two weeks. I hope this will be an excellent opportunity for some uncommon photography.
Currently, I use the following camera equipment:
