I was raised in Michigan, but have lived in warmer climates since 1999, when I started graduate school first in Atlanta and now in Durham, NC. In June of 2006 I completed my Ph.D. in physics at Duke and now I'm working at the National Center for Computational Toxicology at the United States Environmental Protection Agency facility in Research Triangle Park. I didn't even have to move to start the new, and fun, job.
I aspire to follow in the footsteps of prophet Buckaroo Bonzai, the famed physicist-neurosurgeon-rock star. I've completed the first step, and I figure I've got maybe twenty years for the next two. I think I'll do rock star next.
