Currently I am an adjunct professor at the College of DuPage. My research focuses on astrophysics from massive star formation to astroparticle physics. Born and raised in Chicagoland I have lived in Bellwood, IL since 1984 and attended public schools here right through Triton community college, NIU for my BS and DePaul For my MS. My personal interest include the genealogy of my family and all it's relatives, Politics, and LGBT issues. Like many scientist I do have an artistic side which you may see on Instagram (@twospiritone) or Twitter (@Hontas_Farmer )
