ACTIVITIES
I built my first computer when I was 14 years old, using parts from several different machines. Since then, I have built multiple machines for both myself and friends and family. I have also hosted my own Minecraft server and served as an admin for several online gaming servers. I also helped design and implement Henry County High School’s first computer troubleshooting curriculum in 2002.
