Kristine Larson Biography

Background

Family:

I was born and raised in southern California. My family moved to San Diego in 1970 when my father took a job at the Deep Sea Drilling Project. I attended college back east (receiving the rare B.A. degree in engineering), and then returned to San Diego for graduate school. I moved to Colorado in 1990 which is where I met my husband George. Sean joined the family in 1999; he has changed his name to Radon.
