obviously. I am originally from Asheville, NC and started out college at North Carolina State University as a Computer Engineer. Shortly after, I started having dreams of becoming a Mechanical Engineer and working on cars. I heard of the Motorsports Engineering program at UNC Charlotte and got my transfer papers in order. I moved to Charlotte in January 2005 and started in the Mechanical Engineering program. About a year and a half later, I realized everyone in the Motorsports department wanted you to work for NASCAR (which I had no interest in). Therefore, I re-thought my career plans and considered that I have loved working with computers my entire life and should have never switched from it. A little while after that, I graduated from UNC Charlotte with a Software and Information Systems Bachelor's degree, and I have never regretted my decision. I will always love anything to do with computers, and cars have just become a hobby now. After I graduated, I accepted a job in Columbia, SC as a Programmer Analyst. Below is the entire list of jobs and my education with dates for your enjoyment. If there are any questions, click on your preferred form of contact on the bottom of the page! Thanks...
