Meet The Dude
Life's Good
When my health permits, I love life in Colorado and traveling the world. The rest of the time I'm either hanging with family or writing novels, both of which keep me grounded and happy.
I had so many concussions we lost count.
My wrist tattoo reminds me to stay positive.
I broke both arms when I was seven.
I love puns & word games.
I'm lysdexic—I mean dyslexic.

ANTARCTICA
I spent six months in Antarctica on a research project to record earthquakes from around the globe. From this experiment, we learned how the majestic Transantarctic Mountains formed.​

EARTHQUAKES
Most of my research focused on learning about the interior of the Earth like a ct scan but using earthquakes. Further, I co-developed a volunteer earthquake network with computers, phones, and other devices.
