2009 University of Central Florida, Physics BS.

After a brief stint in the private sector performing data analysis and programming tasks, I returned to academic life in 2011 by entering the Master's program here in Pure Mathematics. I intend to continue with my PhD elsewhere. My primary interest is in the categorical flavor of algebraic geometry (sheaves, schemes, stacks, etc.), though I am interested in topics throughout pure mathematics.

Life is what really interests me. I received a BA in Mathematics from San Francisco State University in the spring of 2007. I actually started out as a creative writing major, but switched my focus
several semesters into the program. I still like to write, as well as rock climb, kayak, do math, and hang out with my fiancee,
Josie, and our dog, Benny (short for Bennington J Brown).
