My name is Patrick Burke, and I was born on 28 July 1984. I lived in rural southwestern Pennsylvania my whole life until I went off to college in August 2002. I graduated from Bucknell University four years later, in May 2006, with a B.A. in English and Classics. Some of my interests include reading and writing creative nonfiction, studying the philosophy of Henry Thoreau, and improving myself.

I have maintained some type of personal website off and on since the mid '90s, a fact made more noteworthy considering I was only eleven then. These websites have always served as a creative outlet, both for my writing and my design. This version works well for me; I like the name, the design, and the words I'm putting in it.
