About Samantha

Samantha finished her career as a perpetual student in September 2000 when she received her Ph.D. in American Literature and Jewish Cultural Studies from UC San Diego. Since then she has been planning her wedding, considering the job market, and avoiding it scrupulously. For the moment, she teaches part-time at UCSD and is about to begin training as a meeting leader for Weight Watchers. She enjoys reading, baking, kick-boxing, painting ceramics, singing and seeing lots of movies with David.

About David

David's career as a software engineer landed him in San Diego seven years ago after moving from Perth, Australia. Although the move from Australia was not initially intended to be permanent, upon meeting Samantha all that changed. David works as the Chief Technology Officer at Applied Magic, a small company that produces fun-to-use video editing products. Along with movie-making, David enjoys black and white photography, TV (including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which Samantha introduced him to), gadgets of all kinds and lots of movies with Samantha.
