I live in Lexington, Kentucky, with my wife and our two children. I teach chemistry and physics at FDHS.
I studied chemistry and biochemistry at Virginia Tech, the University of Florida, and the University of Kentucky. At both UF and UK, I completed all required doctoral coursework and qualifying examinations in chemistry but did not finish the dissertation(s) or defense(s).
Before returning fully to education, I spent two years working in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of South Carolina. There, I worked in UV-LED manufacturing and MOS-HFET research, helping to fabricate and develop semiconductor devices. I also coauthored two peer-reviewed papers in Applied Physics Express on transistors and LEDs.
I develop models that do not fit neatly within a single discipline, and enjoy writing essays and working notes at the intersections of scientific models, human learning, technology, morality, and culture.
