Personal
Short Biography:
    I was born and raised in San Diego, California
and had such a good time/childhood that I decided to stay
local for college and attended UCSD. There I majored in Physics
(with specialization in Astrophysics!),
minored in Philosophy, and enjoyed myself more than
I had thought physically possible.
Now I'm having a great time learning and teaching up
here in UC Santa Cruz's Astronomy & Astrophysics
graduate (PhD) program.
On top of that I train as frequently as possible
in Aikido (a japanese martial art)
and also train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a few times a week.
I enjoy rock-climbing (although lately I've
de-facto returned to my gym-rat roots).
I just got married to my long time girlfriend, Kristel Dorighi.
I have a twin brother, Chris, who looks nothing like me.
I love writing computer codes to
do silly or sophisticated things.
I am both blessed and cursed with a very porous memory.
I try to stay centered in life and keep my gaze up.
Trying to maintain balance between all my passions, friends,
work, and sleep is a constant and looks to be a life-long
practice.
If you would like to find out more, my increasingly outdated
Personal website will hopefully suffice.
