Academic Interests

My primary research interests involve concepts of perception, identity, and physical computing realized through interactive installation and the digital art medium.  At the moment, my interests are specifically focused in the areas of Data Visualization and Experimental Physical Interactivity.

Top Scholarly Accomplishments

My work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including the Athens Video Art Festival and the 22nd Festival Les Instants Video in Alexandria, Egypt both in 2009, Festival Miden in Kalamata, Greece in 2011, and the 2012 Human Emotion Project in Mexico City, Mexico.  I was also selected to give presentations at the Interdisciplinary Symposium “Holes” held on the campus of Washington State University in 2009, and the 2011 Annual New Media Caucus Artist Showcase held in New York City, NY.

Life Outside the University

My wife and I have a 2-year-old son that keeps us busy (and entertained).  My wife recently started a Web Design business that I am currently acting as the lead developer for.  We really enjoy Fall weekends in the Ozarks… we absolutely love all the local festivals, and there seems to be one every weekend.
