Personal



Most of the time, I like to hang out with my wife Megan and sons Sinclair and Emerson. Other than that, I like to design and build furniture, work on my home, and climb mountains. I am also an avid runner and sometime Yoga student.

I follow college sports closely. As an alumnus of Ohio University and the Univeristy of Michgan, I live and die with the fortunes of the Bobcats and Wolverines.

I was born in Spokane, Washington, and moved to Athens, Ohio at an early age. I grew up in Athens, where I eventually went to Ohio University for my undergraduate education. After completing my B.S. in Computer Science at Ohio, I attended Ball State University, where I completed a M.S. in Computer Science. I moved to San Diego, California, working at Primary Access (now, 3COM/Primary Access). After three years of living in Cardiff, I moved to Columbus Ohio, where I worked for Applied Innovation. In the fall of 1996, I moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I began attending the University of Michigan, pursuing a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. After completing the Ph.D. in the Fall of 2001, I moved to Morristown, New Jersey where I worked at AT&T research in Florham Park, NJ (otherwise known as the Bell Labs).
