Who am I?"It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small."

— Neil Armstrong

My name is Mr. Lie and I was raised on technology; my first computer at the age of three was my father's System 6 Macintosh, and I’ve been hooked on the opportunities provided by the information age ever since. I have had

experience working in a wide variety of tech environments, from IT services to multimedia design, and I spend my free time trying to always expand my horizons and skillset. My

hobbies include digital art, animation, sculpting, and digging into whatever books I can get my hands on. My favorite color is orange, and my favorite Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young is

Stills.

Who are you?

When your card is called, please stand up and introduce yourself using your

welcome survey!
