Outside of coding, what do you like to do for a little fun in your life?
Haha, I like to play guitar, ride my bike, hang out with my friends, make people laugh, be different, and exercise(swim, run, push ups, sit ups, etc.).
Ah, yes, exercise, I forgot what that feels like. So, coding, how'd you fall into it?
Well I began going to ProBoards, wanted my own free forum and thought it was the most simple to mange. I saw people doing stuff on SSD and ZD whether it be codes or graphics and realized it would be easier to get modded at one of these places with a knowledge of graphics or codes. Codes looked cool and easier to do than graphics so I tried and started slowly but began to develop greatly later on.I then moved away from the PB coding scene to do IF(to practice AJAX) and web coding(in hopes of making some money with PHP).
Was there anyone in particular that inspired you?
Not really. I always looked up to Peter, A._Leon, and Thom(not anymore surpassed him) as well rounded coders. But I guess you could say so more towards the beginning.
There's a rumor floating around that you left PB, why's that?
Well that rumor is true. And who starts rumors? Anyway, yes I have. I felt it was best to let go. There are plenty of other codes that can help PB grow and strengthen. I wanted to try something new and the strict coding Terms Of Services restricted me to what I could do. I do still hang around Studio Zero and post a lot of my web coding there though as opposed to PB coding.
Do you think you'd ever return to the PB scene?
Not likely unless the coding TOS was made to better my experience coding the forum and not restrict what I can do. Or perhaps if I had a strong change of heart.
With school just around the corner, what are you doing to prepare yourself? And will it restrict you from still coding?
Prepare for school? Hmm, well I went school shopping the other day(was hell). Restrict my coding, yeah sadly it will a bit. It will restrict everything especially this year because I'm in 11th grade got quite a few dances include the prom, SATs, PSATs, and colleges are working like a hawk so I must continue to do well and not look like a loser. XD
Loser? You, never! What would you say are your best subjects in school? Is there a particular one you despise? If so, why?
Well I am good at school in general. But I would say English, History, and Computer Programming are my bread and butter. There isn't really one I wake up and say oh no, I am going to die so no I don't despise a particular one unless I have an evil project or test that day. And I like my best subjects because they come easy to me.
Speaking of food, what's your secret pleasure when it comes to food?
I guess pizza and pasta. I like carbs and tasty desserts the best as well as beef such as prime ribs, steak, and ribs. Ribs are pigs though.
So, you use to be a well-known administrator at Zanmato Designs, (now Zenith). We've all witnessed the downfall of it since last summer, what are your views on why, and how it came to it's resting place?
I've always had close friends there so I'll try to put it in the nicest terms I can. The skin got old, the member got tired of little to no change, the administrators and other staff lost interest, and when the administrators and other staff didn't care neither did the members. It's really a number of things but I won't get into that.
I being an ex-gmod, will agree to that. Is there any juicy secrets about anyone around the PB scene that you care to display?
Honestly none that I can think of. There used to be but they wouldn't mean anything anymore as they are about old ZD forum plans.
Who are your closest friends around PB? Do you still associate with them?
My closest friends are likely, Nick, James(A._Leon), Ryan, James(WWX)(now on IF), Chris, Kay, Eric. I am probably missing some people but I don't really go to PB that much but I still associate with most of them quite a bit.
Randomness....fried cheese or grilled cheese?
Grilled cheese.
If you were being sent to a deserted island, pick one person, one book, and one item you'd bring with you. And then, explain why.
This is tough. But for the person to not offend anyone, I think I would take a celeb. And that celeb would be Keira Knightley.
As for the book I would pick The Lord Of The Rings The Two Towers. And my item would be a phone so I could call for help. 
Cheater! *eyes suspiciously* Well...answer this, and then, I'll stop bugging you. Who online, would you like to meet, and (again) why?
You never said just one person so I will name a few. Let's see...
Nick (Combo) because he has always been there for me no matter what has happened and is a forgiving and nice person. He also has great taste in music and is very funny!
Next, I would like to meet James(A._Leon) as we both like Led Zeppelin and he is very entertaining and would give me a good laugh when I was down.
Next, would be Kay(you) as she has been a very giving and kind person and wants everyone to be ultimately happy. And will go out of her way to help make you feel better.
Then there is Chris.He is a weirdo but overall a nice guy who tries hard to run a successful forum and is very active in web coding. He also gives you a good laugh and is fun to annoy.
Then there is WWX who was like a Godfather to me at one time. He made me feel better about myself at times, was a good person to talk to, and overall a good guy.
That's about it.
Awww, I feel touched! Well to wrap this up, I thank you, and do you have any famous last words?
Um...Try your best, aim high, and never hold back!
Great words at that! Thanks again Greg!
No problem, thanks for the interview, Kay!
