I grew up in Siletz and attended Toledo High School.  I then undertook my undergraduate education at Pacific University in Forest Grove and my final doctoral education took place right here in Eugene.  Upon graduating, I took a position up in Washington at Pacific Lutheran University.  I am passionate about chemistry, chemical education, my family and all things outdoors.  I look forward to working with you!
