Personal Stuff Born in 1981 in the beautiful Comox Valley on
Vancouver Island, British Columbia, I am a Canadian citizen working toward my
PhD in Santiago, Chile. While my time right now is dominated by my thesis
project, as well as other side research pursuits, I try to make time for
other activities. In another life before astronomy, I spent several
years working as a professional cook
in Nanaimo and Victoria, BC, prior to earning my BSc from the University of
Victoria. As a result, I still very much enjoy cooking with my wife at home,
trying new techniques and creating tasty (usually at least!) concoctions. We
always try to use ingredients from as many different cultures as we can find! Being Canadian, I happily maintain the stereotype of
being a huge hockey fan. On any given night between October and June, one can
find me cheering on my Canucks, Penguins and/or Victoria Royals.
Additionally, I always enjoy a good geek-out with the odd board (preferably)
and/or video game. When the weather is good, the myriad hills
surrounding Santiago offer great hikes, which I try to take advantage of when
possible, although sadly not often enough! If a hike isn’t an option, then
sometimes it’s great to just take the camera somewhere interesting to try and
get some unique photos. |
