My Life at

I graduated from Gettysburg College in May 1999 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Mathematics.

I was very involved in the Mathematics & Computer Science Department.
Maureen Miller
, one of my best friends, worked with me in the math office with our favorite office specialist Beth Helm. If you look at the Math & CS web page, you can look at some of the student's and faculty member's web pages.

The top half of the lefthand picture is Maureen, Department Chair Professor James Fink, and me in an action shot in a classroom in Glatfelter Hall.

By fate, Maureen (aka Mo "There can't be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full"--Henry Kissinger) and I met during the first week of school because we were in the same orientation group.

Quite fittingly, Maureen and I graduated together too. Since we both graduated Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor of science degree, I received my diploma right after she received hers.

We have been dubbed "the Dynamic Duo", and we have the t-shirts and dog tags to prove it.

Maureen and I were officers in the then-new student chapter of the Mathematical Association of America.



My Friends

I have another page devoted to my friends. The page isn't limited to my Gettysburg College friends, but they do dominate the page.



Newspapers

"Once a newspaper touches a story, the facts are lost forever, even to the protagonists." -- Norman Mailer

I was a member of the editorial board of the student newspaper of Gettysburg College, The Gettysburgian. We had our ups and downs, but I'm very proud of the paper, and hopefully, the new staff will have the web site up and running soon.

I also worked for The York Daily Record as a part-time correspondent in sports.

Summer Research


What inspired me to go onto graduate school and helped get me accepted to graduate school is the research I did the last few summers.

Summer 1998, I worked with Dr.Lori Pollock, a Computer Information Sciences professor at the University of Delaware. I was paired up with her though the CRA Distributed Mentors Project.

The summer of 1997, I worked with a professor at Gettysburg College, Dr. Rod Tosten, but you can call him Rod. Brad Steiner, who now acts as my mean, somewhat protective older brother, showed me the ropes.
