Childhood -- the early days:

I was reared in a lower-middle class suburb north of Atlanta, Georgia. Having never moved locations, my solid friendships with nearby kids lasted over a decade and were marked by priceless memories of playing baseball and basketball every day until we could no longer see the ball at night. My loving parents did a perfect job of teaching me values of honesty, hardwork, integrity, and respect. I could not have had it any better.

Primary School:

I was always interested in school and did well; however, my high school era was marked with a somewhat apathy towards obtaining perfect marks in academics. Although I still cared to learn, my friends and I were more interested in having fun and trying to make this malleable stage of our lives memorable. We did a good job, and I have no regrets.

Undergraduate College:

I returned to my former interests in academics and attempted to fuel my unyielding curiousity and industrious habits of studying. I worked as hard as I could for the first two or three years, while sadly keeping my social/personal life as the second priority. During my senior year I took more care in further developing the great friendships that had formed throughout my undergraduate career. It was a great time of learning about myself and others.

Present Day:

In May 2007, I moved to LA, California to intern at Google (in Santa Monica) and start graduate school at UCLA. I'm studying Computer Science with a focus on Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning. In the meantime, I'm still getting used to lovely California, and am appreciative I finally made it out here, for I've dreamt of such since I was 10.


Interests:

My top passions are playing baseball, art, photography, computer science, and mathematics. In addition, like everyone else, I am rather addicted to music and thoroughly enjoy quality films.
