I'm Back!

Hello all!

It has been almost two years since I posted to this blog.  Funny how time flies when you are having fun.  I completed my PhD program at Texas A&M University in June 2016. I am currently an assistant professor at Virginia Tech.  http://www.acis.pamplin.vt.edu/smith/ .

I will be updating the blog for a few items to keep them current.  Stay tuned!
