Hey guys, my
website has moved, I will no longer update this one. you want to
go here for my new site.
My
Education
Being home schooled, I believe my education was
superior to that of my peers, I not only learned the same reading,
writing and arithmetic as everyone else, but my education was
supplemented by real life experience that most students of my age do
not have (unfortunately). I learned so much about science, music,
and mechanics that my friends from the local high school band would
come to me with their questions, ranging from virtually every field of
study, and if I could not answer them immediately my educational
resources were so immense, I could usually find a short answer by the
next day, and write a thesis paper within a month (nobody ever
requested that I do so however, which is good because I never would
have gotten my real work done!). In fact my peers entrusted me so
much that with the help of a devious friend of mine, I was once able to
convince a student that mixing two types of soda together would make
them instantly freeze! But any way, my private research I
consider to be of just as much value to me as my regular school
work. I dappled in numerous fields, everything I was interested
in became an obsession to me. First I attempted to build a go
cart, which didn't work so well, and I the end I bought one with
saved
money. I eventually ended up replacing just about every part, and
squeezing an extra 20 miles an hour out of the little beast, and
learned much about mechanics this way. Then there was
electroplating,
considered by some to
be the most dull process the
world has ever seen. But I needed the technology to do one of my
other hobbies, musical
instrument repair.
I have become fairly
proficient at this, and have even earned a little money along the way
(If you ever read this Robbie, you owe me about thirty dollars, and I
need it sometime soon!).
After I had mastered these hobbies to the best of my
ability (without going broke buying tools or chemicals) I moved onto
different things, currently I am attempting to build a plasma ball,
based off of a flyback transformer, this along with the Tesla
coil I made are my most recent ventures, which I balance with
college
work.
As for my college experience, I currently
attending Penn State university at Harrisburg, before that I was at
Penn State Hazleton. I had for the longest time planned to go
into the U.S. Army
after college as a lieutenant through the ROTC program, but a foot
problem has eliminated that
course of action (for now!). My major is mechanical
engineering technology, which seems to suit me well.
