I was born in Athens, Greece in 1938, and finished my primary and secondary education there (Athens College) before coming to America in 1956. After four years at MIT, three years at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and one year at Harvard, I moved to UCLA in 1964 and have been there ever since, with long, annual sojourns to Athens. Starting with 1997, I also have an appointment in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Athens, where I will regularly be each Fall.
My wife Joan Rand Moschovakis is also a logician, a fellow student of Kleene's, and taught at Occidental College for some 30 years, until her recent (very early) retirement. My two (otherwise lovely) children, Nick and Anna, have nothing whatsoever to do with mathematics.
