I spend most of my free time organizing an Android Mobile Development Group called Killer Android, playing board games, running around crafting and fighting mobs in FFXI, attempting to learn and failing miserably at the Korean language, watching anime / movies, going to cons, traveling, taking face offs in ice hockey, working on home improvement projects, petting and feeding the husband (wait...I meant to say dog), riding one of my three bicycles, thinking up new but not very practical inventions, playing and singing along to my Alesis keyboard and reading.



To help pay for all of the things I'm passionate about I work as a Senior Applications / Systems Programmer for the University of Michigan... Read more

Despite being a first timer to Penguicon, I will be running two panels this year.

Summon Creatures from Cardboard - A discussion on how to build large, and usually pretty impressive, creature costumes out of Cardboard, PVC, and other inexpensive materials.

Wing Building - An opportunity to build your own set of pulley operated mechanical wings. So far attempts to fly using them have been unsuccessful.
