Hello, classmates! My name is Kristopher DeMarco, but I prefer just Kris. I was born in Michigan, lived in Nevada, and eventually moved to Florida in 2010. My hometown is Naples and I go back there every so often to see my parents. Currently, I live in Tallahassee, right next to campus. I love being close to campus, as I appreciate a good walk or run through the university. I have two bachelors degrees from the University of Florida and Florida Gulf Coast University<\/a> in Fort Myers. After obtaining my second degree, I knew my next step was a graduate degree. I love being in school and hope to continue my education throughout my life. Deciding on FSU for graduate school was an easy choice because I previously lived and attended FSU and enjoyed it thoroughly. Not to mention the cost of in-state tuition is much cheaper! I am in the MSIT program in my second semester and so far, it has been going well, and I have enjoyed learning about IT. I am also pursuing the Information Architecture and User Services Graduate Certificate. I was recently hired as an intern for the virtualization team at FSU\u2019s Information Technology Services. There I hope to continue my learning and narrow down exactly what type of IT I want to delve into. I am interested in cybersecurity and usability. Some of my hobbies include reading traveling, watching sports and movies, and video games. I love reading thrillers and just finished a great Dean Koontz novel, TickTock<\/a>. It was a quick read but entertaining nonetheless, I recommend it if you like thrillers! I watch many sports events and occasionally will bet when I am feeling risky, although usually I do not win any money. My favorite sports teams that I follow religiously include the LA Chargers, Miami Heat, and Atalanta BC<\/a>. I am so excited to take this class, specifically working with web-based tools. Last semester, I took Design and Production of Network Multimedia and enjoyed it a lot. We created a basic website using HTML and CSS, which I want to learn more about. I hope to gain knowledge and more experience with website tools in this class and meet peers interested in similar aspects of IT. <\/p>\n\n\n

I leave you all with a picture of one of my favorite events I have ever witnessed: the solar eclipse in Texas in April of this year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
