Since April 2000 I have been a graphics chip architect at Nvidia Corp. I love
it!

I received a Ph.D. in Computer Science in June, 2002 from UNC. My dissertation
research involved measuring how each point on a surface reflected light in
different directions and using the measurements to make realistic pictures.

I wrote a Karl Sims-style genetic art program in 1998. I periodically fiddle
with it and I really like the results I'm getting. Check out my results.

We have some really cute kids. You can see pictures of them.

In Summer 1997, I did an internship at Hewlett Packard's Chapel Hill Graphics
Lab, where I worked on various parts of the PixelFlow system software. I also
got to implement a particle system framework inside the PixelFlow geometry
processors. I used this particle system to do the billowing smoke on the
PixelFlow train demo. This grew into the Particle
System API.

I married Tiffany Harps in July 1995.
|
 |
I was a research assistant in the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute
with Chris Johnson at the University of Utah in 1995 and again in 1999.
|
 |
I got a B.S. in Computer Science in June 1995 from the University of Utah. So
long, and thanks for all the fish.
|
 |
I was on the University of Utah's Ballroom Dance Performance Company for two
years. I wish I still had time for that.
|
 |
I also like Escher, tiling, and textures. I have one of the oldest collections
of Escher art on the net - since 1993.
|
 |
I wrote a little program many year ago that takes a tilable image like this
Escher horsemen and does a hyperbolic mapping of it onto a circle. This result was used as the conference poster for a Physics conference.

|
I worked at Evans and Sutherland for five years - four years of software QA
on OpenGL and other hardware-accelerated 3D APIs, and one year of OpenGL
library development.
|
 |
I was a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for two
years. I learned Spanish and served in Vancouver, British Columbia, mostly with
immigrants from Latin America.
|
 |
I went to Olympus High School, as did John Warnock, founder of Adobe, and Karl Rove. Tiffany
went to Granite High School, as did Ed Catmull, founder of Pixar. No, I don't
imagine even this makes us cool.
|
 |
My friend since junior high, Grue, has one of the oldest of all web pages. What
is the subject of this aged, venerable web site? The Exploding Whale!

As a young youngster, I was quite young.
