About Me

I grew up in little towns in Iowa. How little? Well, the last town I lived in had a population of 150. My high school graduating class had 20 people in it, which means I was the top 5 percent of my graduating class. 这是我在爱荷华州立大学第一年获得100美元奖学金的好机会.

I started college majoring in computer engineering, 但两年半后，我转到了数学和计算机科学专业. Math because I liked it, 更多的是计算机科学，因为我认为如果我去找工作，它会是一个很好的学位. 我的研究生学的是数学，但我仍然在做计算机科学相关的工作. 我的兴趣主要集中在数学和计算机科学重叠的一个尘土飞扬的角落里.
