Growing up, I lived primarily overseas, in Sao Paulo, Brussels, and London, where I attended junior high and high school.  In between my family and I were either living in the US or spending summers with family in California and Wyoming.  After finishing high school in London, I completed my B.A. at Amherst College in Massachusetts and Ph.D. at New York University.

I now live in Maplewood, New jersey, with my wife Helen Wan and son Alex.

Both through work and on our own time, we've had the opportunity to travel often, particularly to destinations where I can study primates and other wildlife - here are some of our favorite photos from these trips.

In my spare time, I try to keep up with Arsenal FC, my local football club from when I lived in Camden Town in London.
