About

Suit

I am an IT professional, and have been with the University of Oregon since August 2008. I provide technology support to faculty, staff and students within the school of Architecture & Allied Arts, and have also contributed to the development of a new Drupal-based website. On September 1, 2009, I started a new position with the Department of Fine Arts, providing dedicated support for creative technologies.

I was also a student of the University of Oregon from 2003-2007, and received my Bachelor of Science in Digital Arts. After graduation, I spent a year working for Nordstrom, Inc. in Technology Support Services at the Seattle downtown corporate campus.

I attended Winston Churchill High School in Eugene, OR for about six months, and received my diploma from that school as well. I lived and attended school in Sweet Home, OR from around 1995 to 2002. I was born and raised in Portland, OR from 1985 until 1995.

I enjoy reading, running, photography, and the occasional motorsport. In March of 2010, I purchased my Alpine White 1995 BMW M3 Coupe. I compete in the BSP Autocross class and have done a couple of track days at Portland International Raceway.

Generally, I enjoy any book by David Sedaris or Jen Lancaster. I've also recently finished the complete canon of Sherlock Holmes.

On November 1st, 2009 I traveled to Beijing, China with my father. We stayed less than a mile from Tiananmen Square, and I was fortunate enough to get to go for a run around the historic site. After a week, we headed to Bangkok, Thailand to visit family for two weeks. Photos from my trip can be seen on my Flickr account.

Currently, I use the following camera equipment:

  • Canon Digital Rebel (300D) dSLR
  • Canon 50mm f1/.8 II
  • Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4.0
  • Vivitar 285HV Flash
  • Canon Wireless Remote Shutter Release (RC-1)
  • Tiffen 77mm Circular Polarizer
  • Tiffen 77mm UV Filter
  • Lowepro Nova 170 AW Bag
