Welcome!
I'm originally from Taylorsville, North Carolina. I got my bachelor's degree from Wake Forest University and my Ph. D. from the University of Tennessee - Knoxville.
I've been at MSU since August 2001 and am currently in the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics.
I'm currently working with many collaborators on "chessboard separation problems". Please look at The N + k Queens Problem Page for more details.
This year I am Chair-Elect of the MSU Faculty Senate.
Have fun looking at the stuff I've put on the web!
