About Me

I was born in Reno, Nevada but grew up mostly in Tremonton, Utah. When I have free time, I like to spend time with my daughters, playing racquetball, and trying to learn languages.

Why I Came to USU

I studied at USU for my undergraduate and graduated with degrees in Finance, Economics and Pure Mathematics. I initially planned on getting a master's degree focusing on computational mathematics before continuing in economics. After a semester, I was so interested in the pure math research at USU, I decided to stay for my PhD and have loved it.
