Can you briefly tell us about your family? I have the middle child syndrome, with a brother and sister on either side of me. We grew up in Beloit, Wisconsin and have deep roots in Rock County.

I lived the first year in a dormitory with the students and spent three years on campus as a full-time student to obtain my Bachelor’s degree in computer science.
