I'm an astrophysicist, culture jammer, and maker from Tempe, Arizona.

I'm currently an Astrophysics PhD student at Arizona State University. I made indie video games for two years as part of Flashbang Studios/Blurst.com.

I enjoy travel, both near and far. I subscribe to the shotgun method of photography -- take enough pics and some are bound to be good! Flashes can suck it!
