Hi there, I’m Logan
My life revolves around my wife Samantha and our dog Copper! We go on lots of walks and bike rides.
Bio
I grew up near Sacramento, California, and went to Bella Vista High School. At Bella Vista I wrestled, acted in plays, played tennis, and competed in Academic Decathlon. I also started tutoring younger kids in math and science.
From 2016-2018 I got to live in Perú as a volunteer. I taught English and helped clean up after a major natural disaster hit my town. I worked to perfect my Spanish and understand people with a much different background than me.
Returning to the US, I studied physics and math in college and started teaching other college students in physics labs and one-on-one tutoring. I also got to study Portuguese and a bit of Quechua, the indigenous language of Perú.
After finishing my master's in physics in Utah, I moved to Oregon to continue working towards a Ph.D.
