About me

I've been called a hacker, a poet, a programmer, a very talented writer, an unorthodox problem solver, a humanitarian, a creative person, a geek, a creature of the night, a crazy young man, and a guy with a cute smile.  Those things do describe me, quite well in fact, but they do not define me.

Yes, I am a hacker who likes to break everything I can put my hands on.  Yes, I am so creative and such a programmer that I built a secure wireless robotic network for my senior project in college.  And yes, my hundreds of passionate poems and epic stories have proven worthy of readership, publishing and broadcasts.  What can I say?  I am a very complex individual.  I enjoy many varied activities, but most of all, I love learning new things!

It is this passion for learning that drives me into testing the defenses of computer systems, writing with words that descend from heaven, pushing the limits of micro controllers, and exploring numerous places, from deserts and glaciers to cities and jungles, while making new friends around the world.   My passion for learning not only defines me, but also strengthens me with hope so that I may always keep moving forward.  Learning is my hope for the future, my right, and my life.

Humanitarian Efforts:

• Help me raise $100,000 for UNICEF emergency relief efforts
• Help the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti
