I got married in 2006. Ann and I live in a nice house on a golf course where I pay fees to not be able to play because I work too much. Through osmosis alone I have managed to get my handicap down to the low teens. I hope that by watching people play golf outside the window I can soon get to single digits.

We own three Welsh Corgi's -- Beck (8 yrs), Snickers (also 8 yrs); and Maggie (5 years) we lost an earlier dog (Nicky age 1.9) when he had a reaction to drugs at the vet, and we miss him every day. Our first corgi, Dancer, died a while ago at the much more acceptable age of 13. Corgi's make wonderful pets and ours make every day happier (well almost every day).

I spend my days doing research in a variety of areas; the advantage of being a Professor is working on any problem you find interesting (as long as you have a student who also finds it interesting). My research is split between low power computer architecture design, mobile app development, and computational biology. I also spend some time teaching classes, traveling too much and occasionally golfing, shopping, eating, and sleeping.
