I am from Boulder, CO and am living in the same house that I grew up in. I have always loved to travel, and after working as IT support at the Aeronomy Laboratory (the predecessor of the Chemical Sciences Laboratory) in Boulder, I took an opportunity to work for Antarctic Support Associates/Raytheon Polar Services providing IT support to scientists in Antarctica. I spent 5 years working in Antarctica, with 3 seasons at McMurdo Station, a winter over at the South Pole, and a number of cruises on the vessels (primarily Research Vessel/Ice Breaker Nathaniel B. Palmer). When I was not working on the Ice, I was traveling around Southeast Asia, New Zealand and Australia, learning to surf and scuba dive. Upon my return, I resumed supporting scientists at the Chemical Sciences Laboratory as the Sr. IT Manager, and have now joined the Global Systems Laboratory team as the Deputy Division Chief for ITS.
