I am a high school student and programmer living in Fair Oaks, California. I was introduced to programming about five years ago. I got a game programming book but did not really get into it. About two-and-a-half years ago I came up with an idea for a simple text-based game. Something clicked and programming has since become one of my favorite activities.

I learned about Home Grown Programmers in the summer of 2009. I took the Java class in the fall and then took PHP in the spring and summer of 2010 and shortly thereafter got an apprenticeship with Automation Excellence.
