Biographical Information
I am originally from Kaysville, Utah. I studied psychology at the University of Utah while working part time and summer breaks for a geophysical company. I eventually decided that geophysics was more enjoyable. For the last seven years I have been a resident of Chile, and currently reside in the Las Condes area of Santiago. I am married and have one daughter. For more information and photos of the family, click here.
