I learned to juggle, waterskii, and download music when I was in gradeschool.  These talents had no effect on my undergraduate admission to Georgia Tech which was graciously and entirely funded by Georgia Hope and G&C Johnston SCH Scholarships.  Somewhere during my life in Atlanta I reached a quasi-state of adulthood, but not before spending a summer in Spain and running with the bulls during the festival of San Fermin.  My other summers were spent doing research for NASA at Jet Propulsion Labs, Caltech located in Pasadena CA.  This enabled multiple road trips across the country, with one route including Atlanta GA, Deadwood SD, Reno, NV, L.A. CA.  I later moved to Ithaca, NY where I currently study Applied Physics at Cornell University under Professor David Muller.
