Bio
I was born July 8th, 1983 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I graduated from Susquehanna Township High School, home of the Indians, in 2001 as a 12-time Cross Country and Track letter winner with a 4.03 GPA. I recieved my
bachelor's degree in Communications (minor in Mathematics) from Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, PA (home of the M&M Mars Chocolate Factory and my all-time favorite pizza place, Brother's Pizza!) in 2005 and managed to become a Division III All-American in Cross Country
in 2004. I'm currently a research and teacher's assistant at the University of Missouri in the RAINS Research Group under advisor Neil Fox. I've been married for almost 3 years to my awesome wife Melissa, and we have a 21-month-old daughter, Cheyenne.
I am also the webmaster of the RAINS Research Group website and the Wind Energy website.
