BLACK ENGINEER MAGAZINE ARTICLE ON **ME**
Welcome to my homepage. Anyone who knows me will appreciate the fact that I took the time to make this page. My love for computers does not really include aesthetics. But from time to time, I can put that to the side and attempt to create something. 

I am a second year PhD student at George Mason University in the Information Technology Program. I did my undergraduate work at Binghamton University in Computer Science and my Master's at George Mason in Systems Engineering. I work as a Software Analyst at Metron where I write software for the FAA. Additionally, I teach at George Mason University (New Century College). My course on Hip-hop culture: "Beats, Rhyme, and Culture" is my favortie class to teach.

Hip-hop is my life, I even have a mural on my bedroom wall (done by my man Aniekan -- get at me for contact info) which encompasses the four elements of Hip-hop. I just took some pics of my new crib . . .You need to log on (ugggggghhhh) to view them so I created a dummy account. Use 'playa202' as both the logon name and password when you go here to see the spizzzz-ot.

I have numerous non-academic interests including research on Tupac Shakur which I'd like to complete by June. I hope to keep a password-protected diary on this project in this site soon. In addition, I enjoy public speaking especially when I can reach out to the younger generation. As a result, I try to stay young myself, a couple of years ago, I was asked to be a video game tester for Sega Dreamcast games.

I also have an extensive CD collection which keeps me from going crazy when I spend weekends at home studying. Speaking of studying, here's a list of books that I've read.

Please take some time to check out my page. Trust me, I worked hard (by my standards) to get it together.
