Bill Alton—all-star coder, fledgling rapper, and professional human being—grew up on the west coast in the streets of Compton. Born to a troubled home, Bill was raised by the local “street people”, and quickly became involved with the darker undercurrents of society. After witnessing the fatal shooting of his best friend, he left Compton, never to return again. Bill has since reformed his life and is now a sophomore at IIT’s school of Computer Science. |

I was born and raised in the state of Hawaii . Naturally gifted in drawing I began refining my abilities during intermediate school under direction of Sam Campos at Leeward Community College . I then took a course in graphic arts during my freshman year at Aiea High School (AHS). Having enjoyed the first class I continued every year through my senior year in 2005. By the time I was a Junior I became the president and lead designer for AHS's Graphic Arts school based enterprise. As lead designer, I had produced numerous designs for many of the local schools on Oahu , designed posters which were displayed in a local shopping mall, and produced products for several established companies. Having used Adobe Photoshop for four years, as well as having taught many others to use it, I became heavily recited in implementation of the graphical software. Utilization of my skills in graphic arts and knowledge in design is the addition I make to the iPRO 311 team. |

Born on the Southwest Side of Chicago, Daniel was raised with conservative sensibilities. He has attended private academic institutions since the first grade and has been fortunate enough to live and learn in environments that lend themselves to creativity and enlightenment. Shortly after being accepted to IIT, he was awarded the highly regarded Camras scholarship and has since been medium-scholarly, a bit unleaderly, but always creative and hard working. Daniel is a failed guitarist, but still has a passion for music, cinema, and digital art. He has an obscene assortment of consumer gadgetry but his current forte is home audio. As a result of his Gear Acquisition Syndrome, he is always being hassled by the women in his life to “get rid of some of those speakers.” |
