You're surfer to wash up on my page

Welcome to my page. I attend Clay High School in South Bend, Indiana. I enjoy playing the trumpet in the marching and jazz bands. I run with the cross country team, which has one of the best programs in the area. Last year we took a trip down to semi-state and are hoping to do the same this year.  In track I run the 400m, 800m, and the 3200m relay. If I have any spare time after practice I work on high jump.


Me kickin it in style at the ISMA contest.

Beside sports, I also love hacking on my computer. I know absolutely everything about hardware and can give you the buzz on what's coming out three months from now. I program in vb5 and html, which are easy languages to learn but that's all I have time for these days. I'd consider myself a digital artist; after learning PhotoShop and a few 3d programs such as Bryce and 3d studio. But computers wouldn't be great without the gaming industry. My favorite game is Half-Life, which I rock my friends in whenever we have a LAN party. I'd like to pursue some kind of career in computers but I'm not sure which area I'll go into, maybe networking, game programming, art, or possibly electronic engineering.

Me backpacking in the Rockies this summer.

Music, well there's a topic as deep as the soul is willing to go. I enjoy almost all kind of music, but some of my favorite bands are They Might Be Giants, Jars of Clay, the Squirrel Nut Zippers and just for fun the Ultra-Lounge collection. Playing the trumpet for the last seven years has helped me enjoy music a lot more. I like being able to pick up my horn and play the melody of the cool new song on the radio and even give it a little twist.


I would give some links to my friend's pages, it's just that they're not technologically gifted.
