I was born in Okemah, OK in 1975. I went to high school at Weleetka and enjoyed a small town life. I participated in many school activities including basketball, cheerleading, FHA, FFA, student council, and scholastic meets.
Main street is all of three blocks.
Casey Mann and I got married in September 1993 and we had our daughter, Nyx, that next spring. In the fall of 1996 I graduated with a major in math and a minor in physics. After Casey and I both received our degrees from ECU we decided to go to graduate school. We received teaching assistantships in the math department at the UA . The first couple of years we took basic masters level courses and other electives such as Algebra, Topology, Complex Analysis, Real Analysis, Numerical Linear Algebra, Finite Dim'l Vector Spaces, Knot Theory, Commutative Algebra, and Algebraic Geometry.
