I am the Chief of Pathology at Darnall Army Medical Center, responsible for overseeing Laboratory and Diagnostic medicine for the soldiers, retirees, dependents, and civilian employees of Fort Cavazos. I also teach as an adjunct professor, helping to train up the next generation of histology and hematology technicians.

Previously, I have served as a laboratory technologist, and a combat medic with the 1st Armor Division.

Away from the lab, I study and practice a variety of "lost skills" which were obsolete 200 years ago. I'm an avid tabletop gamer, and I play the hurdy-gurdy very poorly, but with enthusiasm.
