Name Jesse Magenheimer
Age 26 years
Education B.S. in Computer Science, 2004
Illinois Wesleyan University
Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, Upsilon Pi Epsilon

     I completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Science at Illinois Wesleyan University in April, 2004. I am now employed full-time as a Business Application Security Analyst for State Farm Insurance Companies in Bloomington, Illinois.
     As a Security Analyst, I work with my team members to ensure that our corporate network and its data remain secure and retains its integrity. We accomplish this through researching vulnerabilities, mitigating risks, implementing security controls, and evaluating new issues. Since this particular industry is in a constant state of change, there is never a dull moment in my job.
     When I'm not working, I can almost certainly be found doing one of about three things: hanging out with friends, reading, or taking pictures. I'm lucky to still be in Bloomington-Normal because many of my friends from Illinois Wesleyan now work in the area. I'd pick hanging out with friends over doing just about anything else.
     Reading is another hobby that I missed a lot during my time as a student. True, one does read an enormous amount of text while attending college, but the process of reading and the accompanying feel is quite different from the leisure reading that I do now. I'm not picky about topics. I'll read just about anything as long as it's well written. If you want to know what I'm currently reading, check the box to the right of this text.
     I'm the Deputy Chief of Operations for the McLean Emergency Management Agency (EMA) Operations Team. Our most visible role has always been the coordination of severe weather response and storm spotting for McLean County. Our agency also has primary involvement in communications, incident command, ground search and rescue, and mass casualty incidents. Our officers bring varied experiences to the team including EMT and first-responder certifications as well as IEMA PDS and IPEM designations. Our role continues to expand as directed by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
     Finally, photography has always been a hobby of mine. All of my photography is shot using a Sony DSC-F828 digital camera. I try to take a variety of shots and they usually reflect my mood during the time of shooting. As I finish a photo album, I post it to my website in the Digital Photography Gallery. Check my links section for my latest photo sets.
