Early Life

As a freshman in high school Lawson taught himself several programming languages. He became proficient in C/C++, and in 2001 started a computer programming company with fellow classmates called Diputs Software^[2]. While working part-time as a programmer, he pioneered 2D rendering concepts using the OpenGL Open Graphics Library^[3]. Diputs Software was abandoned in 2002.

Lawson has engaged in and been successful in several different fields. In addition to his sociological contributions, he is a proficient photographer (also here), published author, pragmatic programmer (he designs and hard-codes all of his websites), and a talented musician.

Lawson currently resides near Washington, D.C. with his wife, Samantha.
