Here's a brief overview of some things Cameron is involved with and some info:
Education
Cameron is currently a Psychology major at The University of Texas at Austin, focusing on Developmental Psychology; but is considering changing majors to one with actual career opportunities in the near future (or just take a leap off the deep end straight into Linguistiscs). His goals as a psychologist are/were to affect positive change in the curriculum and organization of public schools, and to take steps toward promoting a multilingual Texas; but he has become jaded at the realization that public education (and social support for it) in Texas is shamefully lacking. The Recent TEA Decision has done little to ameliorate these misgivings.
Cycling
Cameron races bicycles as a USAC Category 4 racer and has recently begun mountain biking. He works as a Bike Builder and intends to become a professional mechanic to help finance "finishing" his education, and he will begin to learn frame building soon. He is passionate about bicycle advocacy and believes everyone should have the chance to feel happy, confident, empowered and free on a bicycle. He has another blog specifically about cycling, but it is somewhat defunct at the moment…
Here are some organizations he is involved with:
- Central Texas Grassroots Cycling
- Dirt Derby
- The Austin Yellow Bike Project
- Team Pirate Race Productions
- The University of Texas Cycling Team, to an extent, but that's another story…
Photography
Cameron is a hobbyist photographer, and this pastime has helped him develop the aesthetic abilities he uses to give Jonathan artistic direction in drawing.
