Background #

At the age of 13 I enrolled at McDowell Early College and quickly leveraged the resources available to consume as much knowledge as possible. Overloading and taking upwards of 24+ credit hours at a time was a regular endeavor. I believed that academia held my future career would be my future.

At the age of 15 (2007), I started my first side business working with and maintaining computers, setting up networks, and protecting various installations from various cyberthreats. I handled 3 different sites, configured them to fit the business needs, and worked with clients who could not afford any staff to manage the internet side of their business.

At 17, I had completed all my high school courses, volunteered any extra time helping various students pass and understand their classes. As well as helping the teachers, plan, and teach their various classes. Instead of graduating early, I decided to delay graduation to take more classes and to round out my knowledge base. By the time I graduated at 18, I had fully exhausted the course catalog at McDowell Technical Community College (where McDowell Early College cohabitates); I had designed a fully functioning computer utilizing HDL. I had also completed a senior project where I learned 3D Modeling, and built a few animations in the software. I had learned how to program in various computer languages including C(++), Haskell, Lisp, and a few assembly languages. This includes the assembly language I had to create to operate my own computer.

University Education #

After floating around a various universities in North Carolina, trying to find the ideal fit, I eventually settled at Appalachian State University where I earned a degree in Mathematics, with a minor in Physics, as well as a specialties in Computation, Mathematical Modeling, and Statistics.

After graduating Appalachian State I moved across the country and attended New Mexico State University, and worked on PhD in Mathematical Logic, where after a few months I quickly realized that the environment was not a fit for me. I moved back to North Carolina, and quickly earned a Masters degree in Mathematics at Appalachian State, where I published a few papers then left formal academia.
