Beyond the lab

A little about life outside research.

Hiking

Studying the ground for a living makes it hard not to love the landscapes it builds. Utah puts arches, canyons and hoodoos within a weekend's drive, and I try to get out on the trails as often as I can. The page banners on this site are photos I took along the way.

Soccer & AC Milan

I love soccer and I'm a lifelong AC Milan fan. That's why the Maldini No. 3 jersey came along to Glacier National Park.
