Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi! I am Richard Zhang and I am a junior math major! I come from the sunny side of the country, the best coast of the West. Aside from the time that I spend studying the awesome wonder of math, I'm also currently involved in a Christian fellowship, an acapella group, and prison tutoring. I am also involved in planning Splash, which has been very fun for me and hopefully equally fun for you guys (the students) as well!
