About me
Scientist and Professor from Hill Valley, CA, and inventor of the flux capacitor. When not traveling through time in a modified DeLorean, I’m occasionally a moderator on the Thorn Tree forum, a place which defies several key laws of physics yet still manages to exist at least 7 days a week.

I enjoy exclaiming “Great Scott!”, trips through time with my dog Einstein, and observing rhythmic ceremonial rituals. I tend to avoid alcohol, clock towers, and the movies of Ronald Reagan.
