Short Bio
Although I have lived in
California and Illinois for brief periods, I mainly
grew up in Rhode Island, where I attended
Ponaganset High
School. In high school I played football and wrestled.
After high school, I attended Brigham Young University in Utah, where I studied Computer Science. After one year there, I decided to serve a two year LDS mission and served in the Tokyo South mission. While there, I learned to speak Japanese and I also learned a great deal about Japanese culture and customs. After my mission I returned to BYU and graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science.
Upon
graduation I worked for five years in the software
industry mainly
for Rigaku/MSC,
a Japanese company that specializes in X-ray
diffraction and X-ray fluorescence instruments. I
was fortunate to be able to spend seven months
working in Osaka Japan for them. I also spent some
time working for the company that is now called
Omniture.
During this time I met and married my lovely wife
Jennifer.
In January 2005, I returned to school at the University of Utah, and did a double major in Math and Physics. Currently, I am a graduate student in Mathematics at the University of Utah.
