    I am currently a Resident Tutor in Physics in Kirkland House at Harvard University. Besides that I am a full time dad for my two sons: Cedar (3 yrs) and Zephyr (3 mos). We love heading to the playgrounds together. Cedar just started preschool this fall.

    In May 2005 I completed my PhD in theoretical particle physics phenomenology from the Berkeley Physics Department under the supervision of Hitoshi Murayama. My research focused on using supersymmetry to explore possible new physics signals at the B-factories, build novel models of electroweak symmetry breaking, and learn more about high density quantum chromodynamics.

    In my spare time, I enjoy a number of outdoor activities with my wife, Jenny Hoffman. We have completed many marathons and ultramarathons, several triathlons (including an ironman), and a 320-mile hike on the Appalachian Trail. Last year (2008) I represented the US at the World Championship 24 Hour Run. This year (2009) I worked my way to a 4th place finish at the Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Run.
