About Me



Our new baby has arrived! See the blog for more info! I have a PhD in chemical engineering, so yes, I guess i'm a dork. But i'm fairly cool, i swear. I like to play soccer whenever i get a chance, which actually hasn't been for awhile. I like lifting, and i try to stay in shape. I love spending time with my family, and exploring the Seattle area, since we've just moved here from AZ!
