"Anybody who has been seriously engaged is scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.' It is a quality which the scientist cannot dispense with." - Max Planck

Interests & Hobbies

I surf, bodyboard, and bodysurf as often as I can. You should too. My axe is a red quilt top Les Paul. Lindy Hopper. Favorite book of all time: Pet Sematary. I cook better than your mom. I can solve a Rubik's cube in less than 3 minutes. I stay involved in the Fountain Valley community in many different ways. If you know what a "Terrible Towel" is, then you know what team I root for. Go Lakers! Go Arsenal!
