Brief bio: I grew up in Calabasas, California, which is home to several retired movie stars, current L.A. Dodgers, Alyssa Milano, and Incubus.  I attended U.C. Berkeley as an undergraduate, where I developed a love for giant universities with long lines.  I then moved to Washington, D.C., and worked as a letter writer in the White House.  There, I had the rare opportunity to serve as an Easter Bunny.

I met my wife in D.C. and we moved back to California.  I got my Ph.D. from UCLA and found employment here at DU, the alma mater of Condoleeza Rice and Sinbad.  We now have two kids, Eli (7) and Sadie (4).

I am a founding member of the Klugies.  I enjoy baking cookies and making ice cream.  I don't really have much spare time, but if I did, I'd probably spend it arguing about politics and watching sci-fi, so it's no major loss.
