Biographical Information
I am from a small town near Lake George, New York at the base of the Adirondack Mountains. Though I spent the first half of my youth growing up in Martinsville, Virginia, I would spend most of my summers back in NY on a family owned farm. Later my family returned to the Lake George area where I later graduated from high school. While I started my college career as a violin performance major, I later double majored in Mathematics and Physics (you can read my thesis at this link). While at Ithaca College, I was lucky enough to be able to take part in Physics and Mathematics research and even take a great number of classes at Cornell University. 
After graduating, I spent the next year as an adjunct instructor at SUNY Adirondack and spent the rest of my time researching and working on a few textbook solution manuals. I then moved on to Syracuse University as a Ph.D. student. While working on my doctorate, I served a number of roles. Other than working as an instructor, I served numerous roles in the Mathematics Graduate Organization (MGO) and Graduate Student Organization (GSO). I also served as a teaching mentor for fives years at Syracuse University. I completed my Ph.D. under Dr. Steven Diaz and my thesis was in arithmetic geometry and titled, “Torsion Subgroups of Rational Elliptic Curves over Odd Degree Galois Fields.” I am currently an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at St. Thomas Aquinas College.
When I’m not teaching, studying, researching, or otherwise reading Mathematics (which isn’t too often), I spend the rest of my time on my other interests. I am – as my students are most certainly aware – a huge TV and movie buff and have many TV shows and movies memorized line-by-line. I enjoy (video) games (watching more than playing). Though I am interested in speed-running more video games in the future (can you find me on there?). I am also interested in programming, especially video game programming, and am trying to code a few games. Given my TV/movie and game interests skew to the horror genre, I would eventually like to release a larger and more in-depth version of SCP Containment Breach (though I personally more prefer the trailer found here, note that neither of these links are for those that are easily scared or disturbed, though those interested can read more about the lore at this link). But this will take a large amount of time and greater programming abilities than I currently have.
These are my main interests though I still do enjoy and am interested in working out, wine, dogs, violin, cryptography, dogs, politics, dogs, cooking, origami, dioramas, speedrunning, baking, and of course, more wine and dogs.
