A photo of me, a 44-year-old man (at the time the photo was taken), smiling. I'm wearing glasses and a hoodie and have a mustache. Behind me, you can see a small portion of a print of M.C. Escher's "Moebius Strip II", as well as a metal cabinet with a bunch of pictures of my kids, some kids' artwork, and a magnet featuring the Minnesota state flag.

I live in Winona, Minnesota, a beautiful college town on the Mississippi River, surrounded by bluffs, in southeastern Minnesota.
I have two wonderful children.
I spent the first 28 years of my life living in Oregon. Then I spent short amounts of time living in Illinois, Scotland, and Pennsylvania, before making my home in Minnesota.
I have a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Oregon. For a while, I was a full-time mathematics professor in a series of contingent academic jobs, most recently at a state university. See my math page for information about my work in mathematics.
