Biography

Born and raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, I grew up enmeshed a thriving Greek diaspora. Of the many inspirational people in this community, my grandfather was especially influential. After fleeing war-torn Nemea, Greece after World War II, he migrated here, learned English, and went on to become a successful electrical engineer who did everything from work on aircraft carriers to act as regional manager of AT&T. Growing up around him and many other such inspiring people, who overcame difficult circumstances, left their homes, and adapted to life in a new country instilled me with a deep sense of gratitude for the blessings in my own life as well as a deep sense of duty to take full advantage of the opportunities I am lucky enough to have.

I have been fascinated with science for as long as I can remember; my interest stems from a passion for exploring and understanding the world around me that has been an integral part of who I am for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is of my four-year-old birthday party, when I enlisted the help of m

Alexander Marshal

Alexander Marshal (c.1620 – 7 December 1682 in London) was an English entomologist, gardener and botanical artist, noted for four albums of paintings, including the florilegium he compiled, consisting of some 160 folios of plants cultivated in English gardens, and finally presented to George IV in the 1820s.

Marshal belonged to a coterie of gentleman gardeners from London, who cultivated and studied rare plants. These previously unknown species were introduced to England from the Near East and the New World in the 1600s. Marshal worked on his florilegium for some thirty years, and despite his not being a professional artist, his book boasts some of the most pleasing images in botanical art ^[1] - it is now part of The Royal Collection, at the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. The plates depict more than 600 plant species, and detailed studies of insects, birds and mammals. It is notable as being the only known surviving florilegium by an English artist from the 1600s.

Samuel Hartlib, the German polymath, wrote that Marshal had by 1650 produced

Alexander Marshall

ALEX. MARSHALL was born in the town of Stranraer, Wigtownshire, a county rich in Covenanting traditions and in memories of revival blessing. His father, who carried on business as a clothier, was known as "Holy Marshall." He was an elder in the Evangelical Union Church, a church which at that time was not only evangelical, but evangelistic. His mother was an eminently devoted and godly woman, and Alexander had the inestimable advantage of a godly upbringing and Christian example.

He left home at the age of eighteen to fill a situation in the warehouse of Arthur & Company, Glasgow, and it was two years after that before the choice was made which changed the course of his life. These two years were years of dissatisfaction and of endeavour to stifle the strivings of the Spirit, during which he was never free from anxiety about his soul. Entering a circus in Ingram Street, where Gordon Forlong was preaching, he heard two great truths: (1) "The blood secures;" (2) "The Word assures;" and believing them, entered into rest.

Early in his Christian life he was br
