My church in Reno, the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd was a wonderful source for me. Among other good friends I made there, I still regularly think of Jim Heinemeier and Sandy and DeWitt Brown.

For the past six years I have been an organic chemist for the DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Company. Dupont Merck is one excellent company to work for.
I am also pretty darn lucky to have such a good lab to work in.
