Family

I am the middle son in a family of five. My big brother is Cade.

Academics

I am a straight A student (for the most part) and ace in excess of 90% of tests.

I started at Gateway Montessori, a very broad learning environment. I then proceeded to Central Elementary, a school where I learned most of what I have from school, although it was quite slow going. The GT program was, for the most part, run by parents or otherwise non-existant. Now (May 2014), I am in my last weeks of 6th grade at Westview Middle School. A proud Wildcat, I have learned at a exponentially higher rate than ever since my introductory years of life.

Food

My mom is a great cook, so I am learning about good food every day. I suppose I should learn to cook from her, not just critique everything.

She is a good cook from doing what I do not, she learned from her mom. Perhaps it is a bad thing that I don't do that, but I have another 6 years to learn.

BRAC Junior Development

The junior development program at The Bicycle Racing Association of Colorado is very extensive. Go visit the BRAC site, and then send me a note if you want any further info.

Robotics

I am involved with robotics at my school. There are a lot of learning opportunities with robotics, but I believe that teamwork is one of the best experiences from the program, because we all need to be part of the plan.

Gaming

I like gaming. My dad doesn't like to see me waste time doing it though.

Computer

We all (should) agree that games are a waste of time to start with. I agreed, but I still periodically get sucked into the inevitable waste of time. What makes it a waste for me, so I believe, is that I have a quite shoddy computer. The RAM is messed up, the battery might very well be gone, and the whole thing is slow. Still, my dad cringes at the idea of me getting my own computer.

I am not wanting to get an overpriced Mac or a all-in-one, but instead I want to build a computer from parts. I have made probably every comparison there is to make about proformance, and every time, with the exception on portability, the desktop has come out on top. Price/ proformance is no competetion, as my dad's $1700 Alienware would barely compare to my $650 (custom) desktop.

Games

I have been stuck in modded Minecaft for quote a while, both because my computer can't handle most racing games and FPS games are pretty easy to get mad at. Minecraft, althgough I don't think is great, is pretty easy to get addicted to, especially modded. In FPS games, you are always in rounds or segments, while in modded Minecraft you always have some machine or tool you are making or using.

I have a Steam account, found here. I don't have many games right now, but I probably will in the future.
