I am originally from New Jersey. I currently live in El Cerrito, CA (which is bicycling distance from Berkeley and across the Bay from San Francisco).
I received a B.A. in mathematics from Rutgers University. I received an M.A. in mathematics and an M.S. in business from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. More recently, I have been enjoying online learning with a focus on data analysis. I thank Stanford University, M.I.T., and EdX for providing high quality online courses for free.
I enjoy bicycling, walking and rooting for the University of Wisconsin Badgers. Favorite stores: Monterey Market (Berkeley) and Rainbow Grocery (San Francisco).
