About Me

My name is Max Nussenbaum and I’m twenty-one. This is my web site.
I’m originally from Newton, Massachusetts, and graduated from the infamous Newton North High School in 2008. Right now I’m a senior at Wesleyan University, pursuing a double major in English and Government. Next year I’ll be working for a start-up in a struggling U.S. city as part of Venture for America’s inaugural class. I don’t know what company I’ll be working for yet, or where I’m going—the future is a vast expanse of ambiguous adventure!
This web site has been around in some form or another since 2001, when I bought a book about HTML and read it instead of paying attention to my fifth-grade teacher.
