About Me

I never understood why all my schoolmates hated story problems. So what if the grandfather left his 17 sheet to be arbitrarily divided among his four grandchildren, or Farmer Joe has just 24 feet of fencing for his sheep pen? Strip away the veneer of civilization, and you're left with mathematics.

People like Steven Levitt, Nate Silver, Billy Beane, and Ken Pomeroy have taken story problems to the next level. My goal is to join them. Data is plentiful, computing power copious, but both are outpaced by the unanswered questions in the world, and I haven't stopped thinking about them. Affordable health care, financial risk, and combining Netflix recommendations with eHarmoney's userbase are all solvable within my lifetime.

I'll get started after the Badgers game.
