About me
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. '' -- Dr. Seuss
I grew up on a horse farm outside of Rockford, Illinois, where I developed a love for the outdoors, sports, and animals. As an undergraduate, I studied math and English, and was a varsity letter winner in soccer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Loras College. I received my Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Iowa under the guidance of Dr. Julianna Tymoczko.
My hobbies include playing guitar, biking, kayak fishing, and fixing up our old house. I also enjoy spending time with my wife, Elizabeth, our daughter Gemma, son Hunter, and our pets: Amos, Jasper, Shakespeare, and Heidi.
