==About Me==
 
I am a student in the [http://www.pratt.duke.edu Pratt School of Engineering] at [http://www.duke.edu Duke University]. I attended Southlake Carroll Senior High school in Southlake, Texas. I excelled academically, but the most distinguishable thing about me was my involvement in sports. I played football, soccer, and ran track. I won a football state championship in the largest division of Texas public schools. Currently I work for the Duke football team as an equipment manager. On another note, my intended major is Biomedical Engineering. But at the same time I am highly interested in Mechanical Engineering, so I'll have to see how my next four years play out.
 
  
==Name Pronunciation and Origin==
 
My first and last name is Roy Peryea. My first name is just about impossible to mispronounce.My last name people struggle with. The name is of French-Canadian origins. It sounds like "Pur-yay". If someone has difficulty with my last name, I often tell them it is similar to the sparkling Perrier water. My first name is also a French-Canadian name who's proper pronunciation I will not go into.
