About Me
I'm currently a resident of Saint Louis Missouri, I go to Lindbergh, I take college classes online, and during the summer I take college classes at Truman State University in Kirksville. I'm fluent in English, French, and Bulgarian (as well as Python, Java, Javascript, C++, and HTML). I love to travel and learn new things, and observing other cultures is definitely one of my hobbies.

Current Project & Goals
My main project for the time is becoming a Master of the
UbuntuBeginnersTeam, I'm progressing quickly and to further progress in the ranks, I'm in need of a "mentor" in the group to help me progress. As always, I work very hard to help out the Ubuntu Community. I'm very active on the
Ubuntu IRC and Ubuntu Forums trying to answer as many questions as possible. - I'm also a very big tutorial and tool junkie, I'm skilled in Python, Java, Javascript, and C++ (and HTML if that counts). I've been working hard on coding and writing small tools that can make everyday desktop use easier and faster. I also spend many hours writing tutorials for beginning Ubuntu users, many of which are still in draft state.
Future Plans & Projects
To continue to make myself available to assist anyone and everyone I can, learn how to better use Opensource software, be an upstanding member of the Ubuntu Community, and further the Opensource mission.
