My life so far...

A native of Massachusetts, I grew up in Westwood, MA, some 20 minutes southwest of Boston. Despite some effit, I failed to pick up a wicked good Boston accent. Sometimes when I'm homesick, I'll listen to the Car Talk Guys to bring back the memories...

In 1988 I moved to Baltimore, MD to attend college. I received my B.A. in Physics at the Bob Hoskins err.. Johns Hopkins University. While an undergraduate, I worked part time during the school year and full time during the summers at the Space Telescope Science Institute. There I worked for Ralph Bohlin on various HST, IUE, and UIT projects.

Upon completing my B.A., I moved here to Seattle, WA and began graduate school in Astronomy here at UW, working for Bruce Margon. I recently completed my Ph. D. dissertation which involved the study of low-mass X-ray binary systems in several globular clusters. I've stayed on at UW as a Research Associate.

I enjoy sailing here in Seattle, so I've started to put together a quick little sailing page. Don't expect much yet, though..

I recently attended the Winter School in the Canary Islands. Here's a page of some links and memories of that experience.

Other People on the Web

Well, aside from various people I know from work, here are some friends who seem to have fallen in the Web trap:
