An astronaut, until I discovered I hated rollercoasters.

And then an aerospace engineer, until I failed pre-calculus twice.

And then I had a random computer programming course in high school, and ECPI visited our high school. So I settled on computer programming.

I've been in the field of computer programming for about 20 years now. I like coding and it pays good too.
