Willie

I was born in Montreal, but moved at the age of 4, and was raised in Traverse City, MI. I moved to Ann Arbor to attend UofM, and graduated from the Residential College with a degree in statistics.

I spent the next few entertaining years furthering my education by working along the crest of the dot-com wave. I now work as a member of the University's webmaster team, while also doing freelance web development on the side.

My wife and I spent several years living in the student housing co-ops, so a move to co-housing in October of 2003 was natural. Many concepts carry over, while at the same time we don't feel like we're living on a submarine.

I enjoy vegetarian cooking, raquetball, photography, beer brewing, mountain biking, camping, tai-chi, ice hockey, and have recently picked up snowboarding.
