About me
Growing up in piney woods of East Texas, I spent a lot of time in nature. This inspired me to get a B.S. in Biolgy at the University of Central Arkansas. Realizing that much of my work would be enhanced by computational and mathematical integration, I then received an M.S. in Bioinformatics from the Georgia Institute of Technology. I then received my my Ph.D. in Population Biology, Ecology, and Evolution at Emory University. I currently work as a contractor through the St. George Tanaq Corporation supporting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature with my wife, Mackenzie, and our two Chihuahuas Lady Bug (left) and Ember (right). We are all particularly fond of the beach and coastal areas. I also really enjoy cooking, and I think if I was to pursue another career, I'd probably want to try being a chef.
