My work focuses on understanding the function of SCD1 in membranetrafficking in plants. When I am not in lab I like spending time with my wife, friends and family as well as playing video games and fantasy football.

My work focuses on understanding the proteins that mediates clathrin coated vesicular trafficking in Arabidopsis through proteomic characterization of the vesicles. Outside of lab I enjoy spending my days outdoors in nature camping, backpacking, fishing, etc. Whenever possible I spend nights observing the stars, cultivating an amateur astronomy hobby.

My work focuses on understanding the role of a pythohormone in proper cell division and expansion in plants. Outside of lab I like to play volleyball, hike, and do other outdoors activities.

I currently work on two projects: 1) mapping a second site suppressor mutation in Arabidopsis and 2) assessing the interaction of two nucleating proteins during cytokinesis in Arabidopsis. In my free time I like to go for walks along the lakeshore path, read, and hang out with friends.
