Chad Musick grew up in Utah, California, Washington, Texas, and (most of all) Alaska. He fell in love in California and then moved with his family to Japan, where he's found happiness. He earned a PhD in Mathematical Science in 2012 but loves art and science equally. Despite a tendency for electronic devices to burst into flame after Chad handles them, he persists in working in various technical and technology-related roles. Chad makes no secret of being epileptic, autistic, and arthritic, facts that inform how he approaches both science and the arts.
