Biography
I was born on September 26, 1985. From an early age I became interested in mathematics and science. I first participated in mathematics competitions in fourth grade. I spent a lot of time studying math and science. As a sophomore, I qualified for the USAMO and finished in the top 100. The following year, I made the US Physics Team, finished 13th on the USA Mathematical Olympiad, and was named Math Olympiad Summer Program Rookie of the Year. I am involved in several activities other than mathematics and physics competitions. I was a member of my school’s state championship Scholastic Bowl team and two teams that placed in the top ten in the state chess tournament. I was a co-chair of my school’s intramural math competition, and I volunteered at a children’s museum that emphasizes science. Outside of academics, I enjoy reading, football, basketball, Ultimate Frisbee, chess, and computer programming.
