About

A little bit about my life and the motivation for this website .

I am currently a doctorial candidate in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University in Columbus Ohio. Originally I hail from Austin Texas where most of my friends and family reside. In August of 2007 I moved from San Antonio Texas, where I completed a B.S. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas in San Antonio (UTSA), to Columbus Ohio with my wife Nancy and at that time 2 week old son James. The main purpose for this website is to share stories, videos, and pictures of my son's life with family and friends back home.

The second purpose of this site is to provide an avenue for me to experiment with and develop my skills with website creation and administration. The look and functionality of this site are the culmination of the last couple of years attempts at website creation. The site utilizes the server side language PHP as the backbone for all functionality. The look and layout of the site are completely controlled through cascading style sheets (CSS) and any database dependant portions of the site make use of MySQL databases.
