Welcome to my corner of the Universe.  

I am a recent graduate from the Physics & Astronomy department at the University of Nevada Las Vegas with a passion for all things astrophysics related.  I am fortunate to be conducting research with Dr. Kentaro Nagamine on early galaxy formation in cosmological SPH simulations with a specific focus on the physical properties of z≥6 galaxies.  

As a nontraditional student (i.e. old) my path to this point has not been exactly linear.  If you are interested in learning more about my story a recent article published on the UNLV website sums it up very well:  Charting a New Course.

This site is a work in progress so stop back as I hope to update regularly.
