This personal website is a central repository for my written work. It includes original work and work done for other websites. Unless an agreement with another site prevents it, any articles I write will eventually appear here.

Content

Content is organized into several broad categories:

About Me

I was raised on a small midwest farm with my parents and a Northwoods cabin with my grandmother. Over the years I’ve been a farmhand, father, programmer, husband, writer, and professor. I’m a first-generation college student with a Ph.D. in Physics and have published research in physics, astrophysics, and computational astrophysics. I currently work for the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.
