General Interests

I spend my time outside of school and lab with my wife and our dog, Glia. We love to hike, camp, and spend time exploring the outdoors. To stay creative and share my love for science, I enjoy facilitating scientific discovery activities with local middle/high school students. You can find me on the local bike paths, golf courses, and city parks or enjoying the great restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries that make Milwaukee special.
