Here is a quick bio of myself.



I was born in Tarzana, CA   When I was one and a half, my family moved to Fremont, CA.  I lived in Fremont for 16 years going to public school for elementary school, junior high, and high school.  

I then went to college at University of California Santa Barbara for 4 years where I received my B.A. in Computer Science with a minor in Astronomy and Planetary Science.  While in UCSB, I took a trip to Israel one summer with a group called JAM, which got me thinking about my religion.  Gradually over two years, I made a calculated decision to become more religious.  


Realizing that I needed a proper religious education, after graduation, I went to Monsey, NY to attend a yeshiva (seminary) called Ohr Somayach.  There, after learning more than I ever had about Judaism, I resolved to lead an “Orthodox” Jewish lifestyle.



Almost two years later, I left NY to go to graduate school at San Diego State University in the field of Computational Science.  After my first semester at SDSU, I married my wonderful wife Molly whom I had been engaged to for 4 months. After recieving my Masters in Computational Science, I was admitted to the joint Ph.D. program in Computational Science at SDSU and Claremont Graduate University.  I currently live in San Diego.
