About me:

Currently I am a post-doctoral scholar at Northern Arizona University. I specialize in the use of spectroscopy to interpret the petrology of rocks and soils on asteroids, the Moon, Mars, and Earth. I have several other science 'hobbies' such as understanding the weather patterns that cause extreme heat waves, creating scientific software tools, and developing new and innovative instruments to gain insight to geologic features both in the field and from space.

This past year (2020) my real hobbies have been building and restoring stereo tube amplifiers, macro photography, gardening, cooking involved meals, and being better about keeping a regular exercise routine. When there isn't a global pandemic I also enjoy traveling with my wife and exploring Earth, though that is often geologically motivated. I have a dog whose name is Bowen (like the reaction series), he's great. 

This site is a work in progress and I will update as time allows. For now check out the cool photos that I could find without much effort.
