"I am originally from Riverton, KS. I completed a BS at Evangel University in Springfield, MO in December 2002, with a major in mathematics and minors in Computer Science and Physics. In May 2019, I completed an MS in mathematics at Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, KS.
"In between, I worked for several years as a geodetic engineer for a satellite imagery company. I also spent significant time traveling, and spent a year learning German in Hamburg. My hobbies include seeking out new music and creating noise using synthesizers and electric guitar."
