About

I came to Vanderbilt in 2017 after working at Rice University in Houston, TX for six years. I started in the Postdoc Office and have also worked in grant management and for the Business and Data Science minors. I started in Computer Science in Summer 2025 and thoroughly enjoy my current role. My wife works in Biological Sciences. We have two daughters aged 6 and 10. I love nature, skateboarding, and college sports.
