I am a PhD student in the Computer Science Department at UNC Chapel Hill and a native of Kentucky. I earned my computer science bachelor's in 2002 and master's in 2005, both at UK in Lexington, KY. After that, I taught as a CS instructor at UK for three years. I have always been a big fan of UNC Tarheels football and basketball (unless they are playing UK -- GO CATS!). My wife, Leann, and I moved to Chapel Hill in June 2008, but we have been traveling to this beautiful state for many years. We feel priviledged and blessed to call North Carolina our new home since we love to travel and many of our favorite places are here in NC. Use the links below to navigate my this page...
