After NS I went on to the University of Iowa and after five years I graduated with my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. I then moved out west and have spent the past six years working for Hewlett Packard in Corvallis, Oregon. I still am an avid Hawkeye fan, and consequently now that I live in a PAC-10 town, an avid Big Ten fan. I got married in July of 2003 to Amy Denault, and we had our first son Jonas in February of 2007. Besides work and now child, I enjoy travelling, playing ultimate frisbee, brewing beer, and occassionally playing music.
