A little piece of green (Me)

Hello everyone,
I am Tommy Crane. I am a 5th semester MFA post professional student in the Interior Design department here at Florida State University. I am hoping that May of 2008 I will be finished and moving on to teach. My thesis topic is Incorporating Sustainable Design into an Interior Design Curriculum. I am looking forward to taking the things I am learning about sustainable design and to teach others about it.

A little about me. Well I am a native to central Mississippi. I lived there my entire 31 years, until moving here to Tallahassee, FL. I enjoy living in the South, but I am looking forward to experiencing more. I am currently thinking about Washington State as a future home.

I graduate with a degree in Interior Design from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, MS in 1999. I worked for 4+ years for a Steelcase office furniture dealership in Jackson, MS, before attempting to get my masters degree in 2002. I attended the Spring 2002 semester. All was going well until I was told that I had thyroid cancer. I finished out that semester and returned to MS for treatment. Shortly after my battle and recovery, my father was stricken with lung cancer and died very shortly there after. I am now cancer free and doing great in my health. I am also getting to learn more about my sister that I just discovered I have a few years ago. My brother and I were adopted when we were very young. He and I are working our way into allowing her into our lives.

Well that is a little about me. Stay alert for I will keep you posted on more interesting things as they develop.
