Came to Stanford from Davis, CA. Currently living in Cambridge, MA, were he is a patent agent working at the law firm of Fish & Richardson.
When he was a student, he wrote an ethics paper where he considered working in a quote about one of his guilty pleasures – Star Trek. Out of an abundance of caution, he did not include it, but thinks it’s worth sharing with the Stanford community despite its nerdiness! (#NerdNation is still a thing, right??)
“[Gene Roddenberry’s] founding vision was bound up in the belief that ultimately it’s our shortcomings, our passion, our restlessness that will save us, that as much as Vulcan logic and detachment are venerated in the Trek world, it’s somehow better to be human.” – Brooke Gladstone, All Things Considered, September 8, 2006.
