I live in the Sandy area of Salt Lake City, Utah with my wife Kirsti and our daughter Tasman.  I teach in the math department at Westminster College.

Kirsti and I both hail from West Valley City, Utah, graduates of Hunter High School, class of '95.  I started my freshman year at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee in the fall of 1995.  The following summer I took a two-year leave of absence from Vanderbilt to serve a mission for my church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, in Bilbao, Spain.  (The mission office was in Bilbao, but I spent time all over northern Spain: Vigo, Palencia, El Ferrol, Las Arenas near Bilbao, and La Coruņa.)  When I returned in 1998 I resumed my sophomore year at Vanderbilt.  My wife and I got married in 2000 and I graduated in 2001 with a B.S. in mathematics and music.

We spent seven years in the Mira Mesa area of San Diego, California while I earned my Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California, San Diego.  (I earned an M.A. along the way.)  You can see more about my geek side (arguably my only side) by clicking on the "math" link to the left.  While finishing up my degree, I had an adjunct faculty position at Miramar College.
