Jake's Profile

Welcome to my profile webpage, which I have created to let people who view my site know some stuff about what I am like, what I like to do, and what is important in my life.


Okay, here is a little bit about me. My name is Jake and I am a student at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. I am in my 4th semester at U of I, and I am a Physics major with a minor in Astronomy and Mathematics. My dream is to get my Ph.D. in Astrophysics and to help to unlock the mysteries of the Universe. I like most types of music, especially Jazz, movies (or as I say it....moooovies), or anything that has to do with astronomy or astrophysics, and I absolutely love Star Trek! Also significant in my life are my girlfriend Angela, my best friend Chris, my family, my school career at U of I, God, and my friends (not necessarily in that order). Okay, I hope you enjoy my profile and the rest of my website.

AIM SubProfile

Okay, so I have yet another profile. Actually, this is a subprofile that is meant to be a part of my AIM profile, but since this webpage is my main profile, I thought it would be good to put my AIM subprofile in this profile as well. You can also view my subprofile at the bottom of my regular AIM profile.
