A collection of moments, people, and places that have shaped my journey. These people rock and I gotta brag a little bit.

Stephen Wolfram

Stephen Wolfram at JMM 2023

I met Stephen and we started talking about hypergraphs. A genuinely nice guy and very fun to talk to. He asked if I use Mathematica, to which I replied "No, I prefer Sympy and SageMath", which he laughed at.

Sheldon Axler

Sheldon Axler

Meeting Sheldon Axler after his talk at JMM 2024. His fourth edition of Linear Algebra Done Right is an incredible book (and freely available, as all math texts should be!).

Bishop Reiner

Dr. Bishop and Dr. Reiner

Thank you both for attending my graduation at VCU. Dr. Bishop, lord knows I will never forget your E&M class, holy smokes....

David Richards

David Richards

David took me on as an intern while I was at community college. I would not be a physicist today if it wasn't for this man taking a chance on me. Thank you for everything David.

Geo Crew

Geometry Seminar Outing

Forgot the name of this conference, but we all went out for beers after talking about geometry, which is pretty awesome if you ask me.

Grant Sanderson

Grant Sanderson at JMM 2024

Grant started the YouTube channel 3Blue1Brown, which is likely the most incredible work of educational material I have ever seen. Maybe one day I will learn to use Manim!

Klein Dude

Clifford Stoll at JMM 2024

I was very nervous holding that big ass Klein bottle!

Marco Aldi

Marco Aldi

I am very grateful for the work this man put into me, hammering in the importance of Lie theory and giving me some of the best advice I have ever heard. Still thinking about those dualities...

Matt Parker

Matt Parker at Bridges 2024.

Matt is the founder of the Stand-up Maths YouTube channel, which is by far one of my favorite channels of all time!

Gilbert Strang 1

Gilbert Strang at JMM 2023

Meeting Gilbert Strang for the first time at JMM 2023. One of the nicest gentlemen I have ever met in my life, and a huge inspiration to me. His lectures on linear algebra are unmatched.

Gilbert Strang 2

Gilbert Strang at JMM 2024

Running into Gilbert Strang for a second time, which makes me a pretty lucky guy.
