It All Started When I Was Born...

...but we won't get there until the end. Before moving to Nebraska I spent a brief stint in Denver as a dean's assistant at Colorado Chinese Medicine University (I didn't see it coming either), and before that I was an undergraduate at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. Before that I was one of the few fifth graders at Highland Park Elementary to obtain a perfect score on his Greek Mythology exam, but we don't need to go back that far. Things are much more fun when played in reverse, so that's how we'll take care of things here.

The Graduate Years

I moved to Lincoln in June 2021 to start my Ph.D. at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln.

Now that I've been here a few years, outside of school I spend most of my time jumping from one hyperfixation to the next, the fruits of which are scattered throughout this site. I also rock climb at the local gym, volunteer at the local high school, and teach algebra at the local penitentiary. I make up for this by refusing to eat or buy local under any circumstances. Life is all about balance.

The College Years

In the otherwise blissfully uneventful Fall of 2016 I started my first year at Willamette University, a small liberal arts college located in Salem, Oregon.
