Aside from two years spent in Puerto Rico, I grew up in Virginia Beach, VA. After high school I worked as a DJ in various local clubs and as an engineer in several music studios but soon decided to change directions.
I did my undergrad at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. During undergrad I worked part time as a bus driver for the University Transit Service. After graduating I stuck around Charlottesville for about a year and a half working as a dispatcher for UTS; I helped setup and then maintained the GPS system they use to track on-time performance and predict arrival times.
As an undergrad I did research at the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge under the direction of Robert Perlis. I left UTS and Charlottesville to become a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle. When I’m not doing math I enjoy slacklining, snowboarding, and sour beers (especially if they come from Russian River).
