Michael W. Trosset

I was born in Cincinnati, OH, in 1956. I attended Princeton High School (Class of 1974), where most of my energy was devoted to running and to debate. I then attended Rice University (Class of 1978) in Houston, TX, where I studied mathematics, and the University of California at Berkeley, where I studied statistics. After several more years in Houston, 14 years in Tucson, AZ, and 8 years in Williamsburg, VA, I now live in Bloomington, IN, with my dog, Lulu.

Here are some photographs, mostly of me:
