Short History

I grew up bouncing around the Eastern half of Pennsylvania and after graduating from High School joined the US Navy. Due to having zero concept of what I was signing up for, I served for four years on a nuclear submarine (USS HOUSTON SSN-713) stationed in Guam. Between surfing and spending an inordinate amount of time in a steel womb, the intricacies and dynamics of the ocean became a source of unlimited intellectual curiosity. After the Navy, I utilized the GI bill to go back to school, where I focused on Mathematical Physics. I spend my time outside of work riding my bicycle and reading about the history/dynamics of cities.
