Personal Website for Tom Hayden
Hello!
Hello, this is the personal website for me, Tom Hayden. Technically, I'm Tom Hayden III, hence the domain name. On the right is a picture of me after I won the Stanley Cup (haha! Just kidding). Apologies to my girlfriend who was the victim of the crop tool in Photoshop.About me? I do a lot of things but currently, I am a Second Year Masters Student at the University of Michigan: School of Information. At SI, I am a dual-specialization in Incentive-Centered Design (ICD). I describe ICD as the intersection of economic theory, statistical decision making theory and information technology. (I originally was a dual-specialization but had to switch back to just ICD due to scheduling reasons - boo!) I'm currently applying to doctoral programs in Economics and Computer Science. Before Michigan, I got a bachelors from the Telecommunications, Information Studies and Media (TISM) program at Michigan State (Go Green!). Before that, I grew up in Troy, Michigan and graduated in 2001 from Troy High School. Also, I am the IT Manager for Benefit Advisors, Inc., a third-party administration firm located in Livonia, Michigan. I'm in charge of software development, client implementation and system administration. If you want to talk to me about this, email me there. In my spare time, I like to play music, disc golf, jog, read dino comics, hack, eat, watch baseball, read, play some SimCity 4, and manage my fantasy football team.

Stalking MeIf I judged my popularity on the amount of spam I received, I'd be the most popular person in town. Therefore, it must be pretty easy to find me on the Internet. I give up on having any kind of Internet privacy. Here's some help:LibraryThing Spam Me |
