Welcome to my Blog!

I spend a lot of time working on various projects and learning quite a bit about whatever idea pops into my mind. I have never posted what I have learned for others to read or even to remind myself later of my discoveries. So I hope to use this space as a record of my technological adventures for my use and your enjoyment.

I am first and foremost a father. My daughter, Abigail, is 3 years old this month and she loves to dance. I spend most of my time with her finding ballet recitals on youtube and watching her dance around the room. She is my inspiration for going to school and getting my degree so that I may make a better life for her.

Secondly, I am a United States Marine. I spent 5 years in the Marine Corps, serving my duty as an infantryman. My first post was protecting an aircraft carrier here in the United States while it was being refueled. I then went to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and participated in the fence line protection. I have also been to Iraq, Japan, Thailand, Philippines and Australia.

Thirdly, I am a programmer. Most of my free time goes to trying to learn all that I can in various programming fields. My greatest coding passion is in web programming. I enjoy discovering new technologies that are constantly making the web programming world faster and more powerful, such as css3, less, backbone, stackmob, Heroku, Node etc. If you share this interest in web programming you should check out the Web_Design subreddit.

Lastly, I am a student at San Jose State University.  I am making my passion work for me by learning everything I can about what I am already interested in and getting my degree in Computer Science at the same time.  Various professors and classes that I have received at SJSU have pushed my coding to the next level and I am always excited to see what SJSU will have in store in the next semester.

Thank you for visiting my blog and hope you enjoy what you find.  Please leave comments so that I may improve my blog and further my career as a programmer.
