Wild, Wonderful,

      West Virginia


      As stated before I am originally from Clarksburg, West Virginia. I decided to devote a little part of my web site to my home state, West Virginia. West Virginia is a GREAT place to live. We have a lot of really neat natural features and parks. I'll show you a few pictures on down the page. 


      Robert C. Byrd High School


      I am a recent graduate (Class of 2001) of Robert C. Byrd High School. I participated in the RCB Marching Band and also the Percussion Ensemble. I was a co-drum captain my senior year. I was also a member of the HUGGED club (Guys & Gals Against Drugs), Key Club, Sadd, National Honors Society, Who's Who, and several other activities. I also participated in the West Virginia Mountaineer Boys State. Our High School is fairly new. It was made four or five years ago. President Clinton visited us May 1996, and I was lucky enough to shake his hand!! 


      West Virginia University

      I am a recent graduate of West Virginia University.  I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Engineering and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biometric Systems in December 2005.  While at WVU I cofounder a student organization, Student Society for the Advancement of Biometrics (SSAB) and was a member of several other organizations.  Other than the studious efforts - I made some great friends and have stories that will last a lifetime.  College was a blast!
