My name is Andrew Smith and I am a graduate student at the University of Iowa. I am currently in my third year of the Social Psychology Ph.D. program. After I complete the program in a few years, I hope to get a faculty position at a university (preferably back on the west coast). If you are interested in my specific area of research, check out my university web site.

On May 21, 2006 I married Vanessa C. Reed! She and I live in Iowa with our two cats, Chloe and Addyson. We are both originally from Fresno, California, so this Midwestern living is quite foreign to us. Head over to our blog for more on our lives in Iowa.
