I'm originally from Virginia, but moved to Utah a while back. I like sports, but I'm not much of a spectator (my ADD doesn't allow for that)-- I'm more of a doer than a watcher-- stuff like rock climbing, snowboarding, kayaking, caving, triathloning(?), mountain biking, trail running, etc. If you must know, when I do get around to working, I work as a something of a creative business analyst-- I am good at designing technical solutions to hard problems. What else? I enjoy controversy, good conversations, great food, foreign movies and clever people. I love to travel, weightlift, run 5ks and play the piano. I've braved the catacombs of Paris, swashbuckled through the pristine jungles of Costa Rica and careened on a scooter around downtown Taipei in the rain. I paintball, scuba dive, rollerblade, eat sushi and write poetry. I've taught college classes, raced in a Porsche, written a book, had Lasik eye surgery, been shot in the leg, consulted Fortune 500 companies, run a marathon without training, called an auction, emceed a robot soccer competition and had a root canal in Switzerland.
I graduated from BYU with a bachelors in Computer Engineering and the University of Utah with an MBA. I served an LDS mission in Geneva Switzerland. I've taught at UVSC on and off for the past few years. I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence and robots. I enjoy track and field, building things, drawing and painting, everything outdoors, and watching the World's Strongest Man Competitions on ESPN.
Did I mention I love robots? I experiment with embedded systems and I love to tinker with electronics and microprocessors like Parallax's Propeller and BasicStamp, Phidgets, StepperBoards, Rabbit microcontrollers, Arduinos and Atmel microcontrollers. I'm into home automation, automation in general, security systems and anything that runs Linux.
