Short Biography:
I grew up near Clovis, California, where I fell in love with psychology in high school. To earn my way through college, I taught martial arts and almost abandoned psychology for a life in karate. I like amateur archeology, am a member of the Skeptics Society, and continue my daily quest to distinguish human aging from fatigue.
