A paragraph about me:
I am a husband and father of 3 beautiful children, Autumn, Quinton and Roman. I volunteer as a cub scout leader in Lafayette, where I get to do activities with kids 8-10 years old each week. My free time usually consists of playing with my kids, volunteering or trying to exercise. I think I am more athletic than I really am, so I play racquetball and basketball a few times a week, and I venture into other sports such as badminton, ping-pong (I am American, so not table tennis), and I usually will run a half marathon or do triathlons with my wife each year. I used to read novels before graduate school, but now I just read technical papers. I am co-advised by Saurabh Bagchi and Milind Kulkarni while working on a DSL for genomics.
