Introduction

Hi, my name is Ryan Phillips and I'm a sophomore here at Trinity University (email: rphilli1@trinity.edu). I currently plan on majoring in Business - Finance & Accounting, and possibly Economics as well. I was born in New Haven, Connecticut (the same town as George Bush!) and moved to The Woodlands, TX at the age of ten (http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=30.206021,-95.532954&z=19&t=h&hl=en). I have two older brothers; Matt, who is 24 and currently in his third year of medical school at UTMB and Jon, who is a senior political science major at Texas A&M. As for what I would like to do after graduating, is to eventually one day work on Wall Street. My grandmother got me interested in the stock market at a very young age and I have stayed passionate about it ever since. Other interests of mine include playing sports, video games and watching movies. Besides playing intramurals with some friends, which we won the basketball league last year, I am not too involved with many organizations here on campus. This semester I am however looking into joining Alpha Kappa Psi, the business fraternity at Trinity. As for my background in computers, there isn't much of one. I pretty much only know the basics that get me through what I need. I did take a digital graphics class my junior year of high school, however did not retain much of the information, Photoshop included unfortunately. I really do look forward to this class and believe it can be very useful. I know I will be held accountable to be sufficient with Excel and spreadsheets with my intended majors.
