Born and raised in Kansas, I lived in NYC for a year and consider it as the time when my life began. I love to see how far I can push myself and try my best to impact at least a single person on a daily basis. Manipulating numbers on clocks or license plates or anything else into my favorite numbers has been an unintentional hobby of mine since I can remember. I have an "if you give a mouse a cookie..." mind so I often get sidetracked, but it keeps things interesting. I love adventures and not knowing what comes next. Right now, my sights are set on a career developing new technology for Artificial Intelligence. I'm a quirky kid with an endless to-do list who gets giddy when learning a new computer language, but I also love to meet new people!
