"behind the scenes" look at some tools on the leading edge of computer technology. For more information on the HSCI:  http://www.eng.utah.edu/outreach/hsci.

I've been working in the Department of Computer Science since July of 1998, but have been working on the University of Utah campus almost 22 years in a variety of positions.  I really enjoy working at the U, and I love working in the computer science department.  The faculty, staff, and students are so friendly and are some of the best people I've worked with in my many years at the U.  I'm so happy to be a part of this team.  Also, I graduated from the University of Utah with my bachelor's
degree in psychology in 1985.  I have a 20-month old son named JT--the light of my life.  Every day is a new, growing, learning experience with a child around.  I grew up in Salt Lake and recently purchased the house that I was raised in.  It's a
neat old home in the Westminster College area. Also, I own some property close to Capitol Reef, and I hope to build on it and maybe retire there some day.  I love to travel, go camping and fishing, garden, do crafty things, and spend time playing with JT.  I enjoy life every chance I get.  And, by the way, I hate the snow!
