About me

I'm fortunate to live in a part of the world where scuba diving, skiing, rock climbing, and some amazing cycling are all nearby. Among other things, I play music (from my guitar and from recorded media), write (this is an example), and race bicycles (on the road).

My work

I wrote a doctoral dissertation on science-type things while working at a local consulting company. I'm not working at the "Evil Empire," though.

I'm just consulting for them.
