We relate when he talks about his first river trip, ("I knew within the first three miles that I wanted to be a guide"). We laugh when he tells about his stint as a salesman in a children's store, ("Ask me anything about diaper receptacles, pacifiers, or rattles").

But we only scratch our heads when he describes his graduate work at the University of Oregon's Neuroscience Department, ("It's just basic computer modeling of synaptic transmission involving calcium diffusion through a three dimensional volume...").
