Hello! My name is Michael Tompkins and I am currently an undergraduate at the University of Missouri going for a Bachelors in Information Technology. I was born and raised in West Covina, California for 13 years and moved to Ashland, Missouri around June of 2008. I decided that I wanted to go to the University of Missouri when I was a freshman in high school and made that my primary goal. As a sophomore, I discovered how to do basic web design and found it very interesting which paved the path for me to go to college for informational technology.
