About Me

I've lived in Upstate New York for most of my life (high school in Syracuse, college at Cornell University in Ithaca, grad school at RPI near Albany, work at Kodak in Rochester) but also spent 3 years living in Taiwan from 7th grade to 9th grade. I moved to the metroplitan Washington, DC area in January 2003 and now live in Reston, VA. These days I work for Boeing as an image scientist. I love to travel and to try out new restaurants/bars/clubs and also to just explore in general. Music is a passion of mine and I've seen some 60 concerts in the past 9 years including 7 separate Lilith Fair shows (and no, I am NOT gay).
