Wedding

This past weekend I went to a wedding of one of my college tennis teammates. Great to see everyone and I had a lot of fun. At one point, we had the captain of 6 consecutive years (plus Coach Rodgers) and a circle chatting with each other! There was a photo but I have not seen it yet. Anyway here are a few of my own (for mom and dad).

Me and Matt Burch

Kalamazoo

So last week I took a day to drive up to Kalamazoo Michigan to watch Noah, Tai, and Michelle all play division 3 nationals. Kalamazoo is home to the boys USTA national championship so it was a great venue (although it was raining). Despite all of them losing their matches it was great tennis to watch and I enjoyed my time there. Here are a few photos.

Family visits Columbus

Sorry I've been a bit lacks on the blog. Been very busy with work, school, and a few minitrips. Here are some photos of when my family visited Columbus.
My parents really wanted to see my lab. This is me thinking about science in my office.

In addition we ate at several great restaurants, explored Short North and the park and spent some quality time together.

Fond memories of high school tennis

Although this is an Onion article, it really isn't that far off from what I observed frequently in high school tennis.
