Im an Operations Analyst I for the Dish Network Service Center in El Paso, TX.

I graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with a BA in Computer Information Systems.

I've only been programming for about 4 months now (at the time of this post 1/8/2014) and I'm hooked. It all started at work when the director asked me if I could make something, in excel, to track attendance. I had Visual Studio already installed, on my PC, so I gave it a shot since VB.Net was similar to VBA in that both had similar looking structures.. Ever since then, programming and creating data driven applications is what I really enjoy doing.

There's a whole lot of programming languages for web, software, and mobile development that is really getting me excited and now I'm wishing I learned all this stuff back when I was a kid but better late than never and it seems like now is the best time to be engaged.

I'm learning so much each and every day and it's sites like http://www.Stackoverflow.com and my new favorite online training website https://www.lynda.com where I can enrich my knowledge, gain experience, and be the best programmer I can be.

so thank you all for your help and feedback!
