Who is Michael Alexander?

I am an astrophysics graduate student at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. My time at the University of Wyoming is short, as I am in my sixth year. I will be graduating over the summer, so if you have a job, I'd like to apply for it. I am also a sports fan, sports participant, outdoorsman, gardener, handyman, animal lover, homebrewer, and BJCP certified homebrew beer judge. I live in Northern Colorado with my wife, Karen, and our "Noah's ark" of pets: Bucephalus ("Bo") the newfoundland, our cats Baloo, Marge, and Wapiti, and two Russian tortoises Maks and Zhanna. Living in the mountain west provides plenty of amazing places to go for a hike. The picture at the top of the page? That is the spectacular view from Medicine Bow Peak in the Snowy Range of Wyoming, and that panaroma only shows a ~90° field of view towards the south.
