<h2>About Me</h2>
- <p>...</p>
+ <p>
+ I wrote my first program on a TI-84 in BASIC to help finish my high school

+ programs but have continued to enjoy finding the smallest amount of code
+ to solve a problem quickly, correctly, and securely.

+ I grew up in and still call Hampton Roads, Virginia my home. In my spare
+ time I drive and maintain a classic car, a 1953 Hudson Hornet. I enjoy
