My title is Programmer III at Rice University in the Computer Science Department. I am working on FreePastry in the Systems Group under Peter Druschel.

Short History:

I was born in Dalhart, TX on March 2, 1979, and lived on a farm until age 3. My father went back to school when I was in Kindergarten, and bought a Compaq portable computer. In first grade I began learning to program games in Microsoft BASICA. In 2nd grade I moved to Windsor Elementary School in Amarillo, TX. Then after a year at Bonham Middle School, I moved to Shelburne, VT in 7th grade. A year later I ended up a few miles North in South Burlington, VT. At SBHS I was involved in the early years of the South Burlington Imaging Lab started by Tim Comolli. This lead to numerous opportunities for a 16 year old. I worked at RETN and in a collaboration my High School, I twice directed a 2 day live television broadcast of the school's Model UN. In 1996 I worked for Polhemus Inc. and presented a project at SIGGRAPH '96 in New Orleans. In 1997 I moved to Rice University in Houston, TX and lived at Lovett College. I pursued an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and worked on several computer graphics projects with Joe Warren including the winner of the Individual Grand Prize for the 1999 ACM/IBM Quest for Java. In the meantime I got my EMT certification and volunteered for 2 years with Rice EMS and various Harris County emergency services. In 2000, my focus shifted from computer graphics to real-time networking. I co-founded Advanced Reality with another Rice student, Derek Ruths. Despite running a business, I managed to achieve my B.A. in Computer Science in 2001. After leaving AR in December 2003, I returned to my alma mater and joined the Systems group to work on FreePastry with Peter Druschel. In August 2005, I'm moving to Saarbrücken Germany to join the new Max Plank Institute for Software Systems. There I will continue to work on FreePastry.
