Boring stuff about me
Just getting started with this, so bear with me as I slowly add more info…
My personal website with a focus on what I do
It’s hard for me to separate work and play because work for me is so enjoyable——I love what I do. I am research faculty at Vanderbilt University where I conduct cancer systems biology and pharmacology research and education. My official training was as an experimental biologist at the cell and molecular level, and I obtained my Ph.D. studying transcription factors and their rapid activation by extracellular signals from Saint Louis University under the tutelage of Nicola Partridge.
Recreation
Cycling is a particular passion, especially mountain biking, but I’ll ride anything with two wheels. I can have fun playing just about any recreational sport or activity. I enjoy most music genres but have a special place in my heart for alternative and punk.
Family
I am very proud of my son who is studying computer engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Indiana. His mother is an amazing speech therapist specializing in feeding and swallowing disorders at High Hopes for Kids in Franklin, TN and whom I am very grateful to had been married to for many years.
Odd and ends
Guinness is manna.
