« About me
But we are the sum of all the moments of our lives--all that is ours is in them: we cannot escape or conceal it. If the writer has used the clay of life to make his book, he has only used what all men must, what none can keep from using.
— Thomas Wolfe (foreward to Look Homeward, Angel)
I am a web developer and designer from Pennington Gap, Virginia, currently attending East Tennessee State University to pursue a BS in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science. I hope to specialize in cryptography one day, and get my PhD in Applied Mathematics.
I landed in the field of web developing accidentally, originally hoping to do embedded programming. Eventually, I found PHP and found myself loving it more than dealing with assembly and pointers.

Built on Wordpress, Tittle Construction uses a custom template made by me, and has custom post types that allows the admin to add, remove and edit properties, and also allows them to be contacted via contact forms (Contact Form 7).
