Welcome!

I'm a mathematician and Michigander who likes to hike, bike, snowshoe, and take photos. I spent many years living in the Copper Country: Michigan's rugged Keweenaw peninsula, and now live near Grand Rapids.

This blog holds photos and stories from my explorations and adventures. If you happen to like my photos or stories, please leave a comment.

You might also enjoy my photo gallery.
