Hello. I am an assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, MO. I recieved bachelors degrees in math and computer science from Pacific Lutheran University in May, 2000. I recieved a masters degree in mathematics (2001) and a Ph.D. in mathematics (2005) from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln under the direction of Roger Wiegand.


Mathematically, I am interested in studying algebraic things. My dissertaion dealt with the representation theory of local rings, i.e., the structures of finitely generated modules over local rings with rinite representation type. For more information, click here.


When I'm not teaching classes or trying to prove theorems, I enjoy reading (pop-up books rule!), cooking (I particularly enjoy making sushi and various Indian dishes), playing frisbee golf (yes, you can play golf with frisbees), rock climbing (this is Roger's fault), and hanging out with my cute wife Katie.
