About Me:

I graduated from U of M in 2001 with an M.S. in Mathematics, and have been working for Professor Homer A. Neal in High Energy Physics ever since on a variety of computing and collaborative tools projects, in support of the ATLAS Collaboration, based at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. I also have a B.A. from the University of Oklahoma in German, and I speak fluent German and basic French.
