I grew up in Clarksville, TN, with an interest in biology. I know many of Madison’s quirks, having received my undergraduate (’98) and graduate (’06) degrees from UW. My research interests include the adaptive immune responses to AIDS virus infections. Outside the lab, I am an avid UW basketball fan and rarely miss home games. At home, I live with my wife, Carrie, three cats, and a dog.
