- If A is success in life, then A = x+y+z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
~Albert Einstein (1879-1955) I wanted to create a site where I could capture and share my acedemic and professional interests. This site will be in continuous flux as I discovery new things to share.


Pullman-Moscow area is a beautiful place to live; I have been in the area for nearly 10 years. I spent 4 years in Moscow while I earned my B.S. and the last 6 years in Pullman while I work towards my PhD. Since both towns have a University (University of Idaho-Moscow & Washington State University-Pullman) the two towns are filled with activity between August and May and the summers are a bit more laid-back, mostly filled with full-time residence.
Too many of us wait to do the perfect thing, with the result we do nothing. The way to get ahead is to start now. While many of us are waiting until conditions are "just right" before we go ahead, others are stumbling along, fortunately ignorant of the dangers that beset them. By the time we are, in our superior wisdom, decided to make a start, we discover that those who have gone fearlessly on before, have, in their blundering way, traveled a considerable distance. If you start now, you will know a lot next year that you don't know now, and that you will not know next year, if you wait.
