I've been incredibly fortunate in my short years here on the pale blue dot.  It has been an exhaustive and wild journey.  After finishing my undergraduate degree at Purdue University, I moved to Colorado, then New Jersey, and finally landed in Phoenix, AZ for my graduate program at ASU. I met my wife during my first day on campus and since moving here I've gotten married, spent a summer in Florida working for NASA, traveled to Paris and Rome, and have two wonderful children. I cannot get enough of the mountains, the desert, the hiking paths into a largely untouched nature found nowhere else. In my spare time I love exploring the area, board game, and have just begun a backyard garden.
