Born in Buffalo NY in 1969, grew up there, then spent too much time at Universities in NY, California and the UK. In between worked in Washington DC and in Senegal. I now live in Montreal, working as an assistant professor in electrical and computer engineering at Concordia University.  In addition to teaching, I performe research in the areas of satellite navigation and remote sensing. I'm married with one son 8yrs old, so far so good.
