I was born in Pennsylvania, but grew up mostly in New Jersey. I earned my PhD in physics at the University of Iowa. After that, I moved to Seattle, where I worked in the Astronomy Department at the University of Washington for a time. I am now an Assistant Professor in the Physics Department at Weber State University in Ogden, UT.
If you want more professional biography, see my CV, which is mostly up-to-date. Mostly.
That’s me above, with my horse Trinket, over an ~ 4 foot fence. Now we are doing mostly dressage, since she had a neurological disease that nearly killed her in Fall, 2006. She has had to re-learn how to move her legs more or less from scratch. It’s a privilege to know her.
