<h2>Smart stuff</h2>
<p>I've got a masters in nuclear physics. I quit school and started working on radars. Surprisingly, a lot of this knowledge is transferrable.</p>
<p>I think Bayesian statistics are pretty neat, and I'm currently interested in learning more about machine learning. Other interests include digital signal processing, high-performance computing, and data visualization.</p>
<h2>Fun stuff</h2>
<p>I spend my evenings as a gigging musician with two separate bands. Both bands are currently expected to drop albums in spring 2018.</p>
<p>As a folk and bluegrass musician, I own both a 1950 Kay (an antique) and 1971 Engelhardt upright bass (a reliable work horse). I also have a Mexican Fender Jazz Bass and a Musicman Stingray 5-string. Bluegrass is cool but I also love jazz, funk, and classic rock.</p>
<p>At home I mess around on piano, guitar, trumpet, and trombone. Eventually I would like to create a prosthetic arm that allows me to play both a brass instrument and guitar at the same time. I'm more serious about this idea than you might expect.</p>
<p>I'm excited about artificial superintelligence because once it's completed we won't have to work anymore! We might also all die, though.</p>
<p>Another passion of mine is creating the world's first house-boat-car-copter. Think about it...it's a great idea...</p>
