I am a 32 year old Ph.D student in Geophysics at the University of Wyoming.  I have been married for almost 3 years and have a beautiful daughter named Symphany.  I love to run and have been doing so for over 19 years.  Check out my running blog.  I also love to read, watch good TV, which is hard to find these days, and play games in my spare time.  I have always loved the stars and planets and studied Physics and Astronomy at Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, IN.  I studied the same thing at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT.  My studies in Geophysics are a natural extension to my interest in planetary science and to my MS research at BYU.
