I graduated from Brigham Young University in December of 2000 with a B.S. in mathematics. During fall 2002 I will be attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison to pursue a Ph.D. in mathematics.
My honors thesis, written during the summer of 2000, proved that odd perfect numbers have a prime factor greater than 107, extending results by Hagis and Cohen. A PostScript file of the thesis and links to the UBASIC programs and MAPLE worksheets used for computations are included in the following directory.

On August 21, 2001, Rachel Wood and I were married in the Idaho Falls Temple .
