Who am I?

It was a cold, cold January morning in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The year: 1980. On this fateful day, the world would welcome many new souls. Among them: yours truly.

Grand Rapids Skyline, along the Grand River.

My name is Tieson Trowbridge. Welcome to my about page...

What do I do?

I am a part-time retail clerk at Meijer Great Lakes Limited Partnership, or Meijer to most people. I am also currently a student-employee at Grand Rapids Community College, where I am a tutor in the Open Computer Lab in the Applied Technology Center, or ATC for short.

What do I know?

Well, back in the day, I managed to complete a certification program in Computer Aided Drafting, or CAD, from the Newaygo County Career Technical Center. But that was a long time ago...

I recently completed my Associates in Computer Information Systems at Grand Rapids Community College. I am now dual-enrolled at GRCC and Ferris State University as I pursue my Bachelor of Science in Digital Media Software Engineering.

As part of my Associates program, I studied an assortment of programming languages, namely: Visual C++.NET; Visual C#.NET; Java, utilizing the Eclipse IDE; and Visual Basic.NET (although I prefer to not admit to that...)

Not being entirely satisfied, I have also recently endevoured to learn web site design, the fruits of which you see before you. I now have a rudimentary grasp of XHTML and CSS. I am currently attempting to become aquainted with PHP, in order to make my various web sites more dynamic and consistent.
