About Me


Copper and I

I grew up with my four siblings on the same farm in south-centeral Minnesota that my great-great-grandfather homesteaded with his twelve sons when they immigrated from Germany. I attended the University of Minnesota, Morris and graduated in the Spring of 2006 with B.A. degrees in both Physics and Mathematics. I met my wife in Morris and we were married just before moving to Saint Louis for me to attend graduate school. We completed the current configuration of our family in the Spring of 2007 by adopting a coonhound/lab which we named Copper.

The picture of Copper and me at the top of the page was taken near the headwaters of the Mississippi River and the banner below is a compilation of images of the farm. To see more pictures please visit the photos page.
