After discovering his fondness for the computer at an extremely early time, as well as his skill typing DOS commands, P.C. also discovered the Sierra lines of adventure games (The nickname "P.C." stuck even before computers were popularized-it resonates even more so now). The most notable of these was Space Quest, which featured a very clumsy and extremely lucky janitor named Roger Wilco. P.C. also dabbled in the early games of Police Quest and King's Quest; however, Space Quest was definitely his favorite series, as P.C. also enjoyed the original Star Trek, as well as the new show appearing at that time, and Space Quest was most certainly a parody of those shows. He went on to discover programming and developed "primitive" games and other programs for BASIC, later also experimenting in C, C++, FORTRAN, PASCAL, etc. This led to (after the advent of the Internet) website design, work in Visual BASIC, Visual C++, C#, etc. His early years with computers, as well as helping out in the family computer store, led P.C. to investigate into the matter of designing and building computers himself, eventually becoming an OEM System Builder, in a now rather common partnership with Microsoft.

His experience with computers and overt geniality led to some companies requesting his services. Through a few of these, expertise in 3D modelling and animation was helpful, so P.C. acquired a bit of talent in 3D design and animation, as well. His experience with the early computer-particularly with the fast typing rate and mathematical computations-also led to experience in some fields of music, first in piano, and later in bagpipes and accordion, as well as some others. He recently earned a 35 on the ACT and a 1560 on the SAT I, and was also named a National Merit Semifinalist.

This rather amusing combination of talents and interests led P.C. to where he is today-an active member both in VSB and the rest of the SQ Community (the SubChan, the Times, etc.), as well as in certain Star Trek forums, such as Section 31. This also concludes the blatant vanity present in this biography.
