I'm old, what can I say?

About Me

I grew up in the small coastal town of Duxbury Massachusetts. Second town founded in MA after Plymouth. No kidding. One streetlight in the whole place, but the best ice cream in the world at FarFar's. My family moved in Pleasanton, CA just before freshman year in high school. Went to Harvey Mudd College , which was the most fantastic time in the world. I highly recommend it to any science geek out there looking for a great undergrad education. Got my PhD in physics at Ohio State. I love teaching, so now I'm teaching high school math , here in Columbus, OH. Wife, two kids, living in suburbia. Normal, boring existence, I suppose.
