Background information about Brad Leutwyler

Greetings!  I am Brad Leutwyler.  I teach for a living.  Presently, I teach Logic and Critical Thinking for the UNLV.  I also teach for Kaplan Educational and Testing Services.  I have written a few books (nothing as personally aggrandizing as an autobiography: I write text books for graduate students mostly), and I am in the process of writing two others.  I am married to Christine Lord-Leutwyler, brilliant glass artist and self-described, "rock & roll girl."  We have a daughter named Grace who is seven years old...at least chronologically.

I grew up on a farm in the woods of North Plains, Oregon.  My grandparents had a farm, and we had a house on a small plot of land.  My paternal grandparents lived in the main farmhouse, we lived in a house nestled in the woods, as did the family of my dad's brother.  My paternal granddad was a WWII officer in the Navy, and was extremely conservative.  That should give you a taste of the environment I grew up in.  I spent my summers harvesting strawberries with the migrant farm workers, bucking hay and cutting fire wood for the winter.

I attended North Plains Elementary School, at the time, a very small, very old-school institution.  I attended Hillsboro High School in Hillsboro, Oregon.  From there, I attended Oregon State University (where I studied political science and communications), and then attended Willamette University College of Law.  I "played" lawyer for a number of years and became seriously conflicted by it...but that's a whole story unto itself.  After that, I studied math and astrophysics at Oregon State University and at the University of New Mexico.  The plan was to get a PhD. in astrophysics, physics or optics, but it has not happened yet...IT WILL!
