| In my spare time, of which there is not much, I enjoy
rock climbing at Rocky Top REC
or occasionally out in the mountains in western Virginia. I've also
picked up snowboarding, windsurfing, sailing, and most recently
motorcycling. |
|
| In 2007, I married Tamra Lyn Morris in a lovely ceremony
at my parents' home in Saint Stephens Church, Virginia. The entire
wedding party and many of the guests were attired in traditional fairy
tale dress. We honeymooned in
Orlando, Florida, and visited
Universal's
Islands of Adventure. |
|
| I was born in the sunny
San Diego, California. I then
moved to Virginia a few years later, but I love to go back and visit,
and still have some family in the area. |
|
| Growing up I was a member of the
Boy Scouts of America, and spent
every summer camping, hiking, and generally enjoying the outdoors. When
I moved to Charlottesville
to attend the University, I was
excited to discover how much there was to do in the local outdoors. |
|
| Throughout my childhood, I was
homeschooled by my mother. This gave
me a strong desire to continue learning, and ultimately led to my
decision to attend college, and later on graduate school. |
|
| Although I'm no chef, I do enjoy
cooking and had several jobs through the years
in
various
restaurants
and
kitchens. In previous years,
several people have suggested I try culinary school, but computer
science was just too important. Maybe some day I'll try
night classes. |
|
My heritage on both sides of my family traces back to
Ireland. I very much
hope to visit the country in the near future, and see if I can track
down some distant relatives.
