Welcome to my corner of the world-wide web.
I'm an associate professor of physics at California State University, Chico.
When I'm not studying, teaching, or working in the lab, I enjoy cycling, backpacking, rockclimbing, hardware hacking, cooking, and martial arts. Music also forms a large portion of my life: I play piano, although I enjoy the playing more than others enjoy the listening! I also sing bass/baritone.
All these fun diversions would diminish time spent with my college sweetheart (and wife) Kristi; but fortunately we share many of the same interests! Our two foremost "joint interests" are Jessalyn and Stefan, who are starting to become pretty good backpackers/musicians/hackers as well.
