Adam Estel
Bio
My name is Adam Wesley Estel. I have lived in southern Illinois in the town of West Frankfort all of my life. I was homeschooled for all of my primary education except for two years of grade school at Ezra Christian School in West Frankfort. I participated in basketball and academic competitions with Grace Christian School in Johnston City during my high school years. I studied mathematics and economics at John A. Logan College in Carterville and transferred to Southern Illinois University in Carbondale after earning an A.S. degree in each subject. I am currently working toward B.S. degrees in mathematics and computer science and a minor in economics. I expect to graduate after the fall 2008 semester.
