About
Off the clock
I'm a serial hobbyist. I shoot astro, bird, portrait, and event photography, which is probably how my obsession with perception systems started long before grad school. I run, lift, climb, and am training for my first triathlon. I also play guitar and drums and sing (not simultaneously, though I'm working on it).
