Childhood

I was born in Martin, MI during a blizzard. Then my father was transferred to Dallas, TX where I lived for only one year. Then we moved to Spring, TX a suburb just north of Houston. We went to MI every summer to see my family, I will always cherish those trips. I was on peewee drill team and played softball till I was 14. I went to Spring High School were I was on the Color Guard. I was on rifle line and thought it was the greatest thing in the world.

I went to The University of Texas in Austin for four years. I did many things while I was there, one of which was study math. I also met a life long friend, Stephanie Brew. We were in 3 classes together our first semester, that was weird since I was only taking 4 classes. We lived together for two years and she is the best tutor I ever had. It was great having a roommate who could teach you your class work even when she wasn't taking the class.
