Idea or experience important to intellectual development. Two summers ago, I attended a course in artificial intelligence at the Stanford Summer Institutes. Thrust into an environment with incredibly intelligent peers, I felt daunted at the prospect of learning course material at their swift pace.

Not your typical Stanford CS guy. I'm not really a programmer, but I am a singer, and more than slightly obsessed with Cybersecurity.

I was born and raised in Wyoming. I lived the ranch life: hard work, sweat, outdoors, machinery and cows! Agriculture will always have a place in my heart. I look to make this world a better, more sustainable place!
