A site about programming, web design/development, social media, and other oddities.
During my time at UWSP, I set up an adjunct course for the Jewish Scriptures course offered at UWSP. I spent my time working with a handful of students discussing extra topics that focused on the historical, sociological, and narrative approaches to the Old Testament and non-canonical literature. We also used the time to study for midterms and peer review research papers. Below are the notes I have published along with my syllabus.
Also, in my spare time a few summers back, I put together two really quick Hebrew Alphabet applications in Flash. One is a flashcard style application that gives the pronunciation, symbol, and English version of the character. The second application recites the pronunciation of each character.
I plan on updating these applications in sometime in the future and when I do they will be provided on this page.
I also spent time as a faculty assistant to the Computing and New Media Technologies department at UWSP where I spent time managing the computer lab, tutoring students, and assisting Professor Anthony Ellertson with the second course we offer in Flash/Flex development on campus. My objectives were to create tutorials and assist students with learning the fundamentals of the ActionScript 3.0 programming language and Adobe Flex Builder 3. I plan on working with this course for the remainder of my time at UWSP and will soon have updated tutorials I will be creating for the new semester. If, for some reason, I end up not assisting with this course, I will still have new content on the topics readily available here.

I’m currently in the process of wrapping three majors at UWSP in Computer Information Systems (CIS), Web and Digital Media Development (WDMD), and Philosophy with emphasis in Religious Studies. Right now, I am a VB.NET programmer at Sentry Insurance, Social Media dude for Planet Label, and computer, social media, and web guy at the Stevens Point Brewery.
I specialize in .NET and the Adobe Flash platform, but also love HTML/CSS, JavaScript/AJAX, PHP, and SQL, to name a few. I have an appreciation for the design side of the web, too, and content management systems such as Joomla or Wordpress.
When I am not developing or designing, you can catch me reading about Comparative Religion, Philosophy, Physics, and the occasional fairy tale or two. I also love going to concerts.
