Holdan's Plaid PuterDudes


The PuterDude's Pic

Mike Hall (left) is "captain" of da Dudes! He has been on the Mt. Lebanon Academic Games team for the past couple of years and is a real go-getter. Mike like to win!! You might not be able to tell from the picture, but Mike is into power lifting. He loves computer graphics design and the Pittsburgh Steelers (hmmmm, but in what order?)

Chris Gorski (second from left) enjoys soccer, cross country and biking. His mom is a flight attendant for United, so wherever you are in the world, he may drop by some time! Chris is pretty darn good with computers and has already set up his own business!

Ian Miller (second from right) is a 9th grader at Mt. Lebanon High School and is hoping that some of the problems that are MathMagic challenges can be solved using the computer. You see, Ian can progam in C ( betcha ya can't say that 5 times really fast!) and hopes to use what he knows to help his team and his NTP submit great solutions! Ian claims he is not the most interesting person around, but others think differently. Ian says he basically lives for those wonderfully violent games like DOOM.

Dan Dacosta (right) is 16 and a junior at Mt. Lebanon High School. Dan is an aficianado of music--well, he does play the bass and has recently toyed with acoustic guitar. Maybe we can link up a little of his music some day on the web! Dan wears a golfer's hat with safety pins in it--a sort of trademark of Dan. He insists it is NOT a fashion statement, but only that it helps keep his hats together! Dan hangs out with his friends and goes to concerts (at least when he is not working). Dan is pretty excited about the whole Mathmagic scenario and wants to meet some "globals" on the net!
