GREGORY KOGAN, ELECTRONIC MEDIA CHAIR
Gregory Kogan is a friendly New Yorker (which
is an oxymoron) and the Electronic Media Chair (i.e. "web guy") for the
SSC. After taking up an interest in web design and programming at an
early age, he worked as a freelance web developer during high school.
However, since he had no intentions of delving into web development as a
career after college, it took a back seat to his other interests. Now,
he still keeps up with news in that field and from time to time lends a
helping hand (or mouse, rather) to a friend that needs some web
help—SNAME turned out to be one of those friends.
