Well, what about me would be appropriate for the internet to know? I suppose the facts will have to do. Born in the seventies in Upstate New York, settling with my Aunt and Uncle in the Finger Lakes region. After college I spent some time in Boston, then New York City, before finding my way to the West. From a young age, I told myself that I was a sidewalk surfer and not a real surfer only by accident of birth and was always pining for the west coast; instead I stopped in Phoenix on the way and honestly love it too much to leave. Yes, even the heat.

The picture attached herein can be found elsewhere on the web and if you look hard, you’ll find it at the Morrison Institute, which is the job I’ll be leaving in July. My wonderful peers at ASU and Morrison Institute will be very disappointed to see that I’ve reused the stupid squinty picture by choice on my own site. I suppose more appropriate and more accurate photos are sure to follow. That is honestly what I look like. Just with bright sun in my face, which is actually how I prefer life anyways.
