I am a recent Computer Science graduate of Iowa State University. I have been interested in computers and programming ever since first using BASIC on the family computer in 1991. In 1995 I began creating web pages, and in 1998 I started creating web sites for local businesses. After beginning college in 2001 I was exposed to many new programming languages and began offering my services as a programmer to businesses needing applications developed.
