 A little about me: I come from a large family, grew up mostly in California, worked in construction, dropped out of high-school, have 3 BS degrees from UC Irvine (earned concurrently), and have worked in pediatric surgical robotics with the Hospital for Sick Kids, as well as worked at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the Center for Functional Nanomaterials... oh and I also enjoy coffee. A little about me: I come from a large family, grew up mostly in California, worked in construction, dropped out of high-school, have 3 BS degrees from UC Irvine (earned concurrently), and have worked in pediatric surgical robotics with the Hospital for Sick Kids, as well as worked at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the Center for Functional Nanomaterials... oh and I also enjoy coffee.
