Brief Biography: One of the first memories I have is of my mother taking my fingers over our three-dimensional globe. As I felt places like Australia or Colombia she would say things like "This is where the kangaroos hop," and "This is where mommy's coffee grows." From that day on I loved maps, atlases, and geography.
I have been blessed to have a loving and supporting family and friends, attend two great schools for geography, intern at National Geographic, and apply my geographic skills in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I Bet You Did Not Know...
I am a fan of the golden age of PC games (1995~2000). My favorite genre is adventure games like The Last Express, Gabriel Knight series, and Grim Fandango. Other favorites include Civilization II, Age of Rifles, Fallout, Oregon Trail II, and Morrowind.
