I am a biology professor at Corban University with an emphasis on Molecular Biology and Physiology. At Corban I teach various courses for the Math and Science Department that can be found on my teaching tab and lead undergraduate research on DNA-containing nanoparticle tracers for fluid flow analysis. 

I have other roles at Santiam Hospital, where I am a Molecular Supervisor in their CLIA lab, at DSO where I am the Chief Scientific Officer and consulting through my company Santiam Molecular Consulting. 

Additionally, I serve as the Board Chairman for Project Living Hope, a nonprofit that works in Haiti to empower Haitians to build a stronger country through athletics, job skill training, disaster relief, and community development.

My PhD research focused on metabolic disease (principally Type II and Gestational Diabetes) and fetal development. At Corban, I continued this research for 8 years until 2020, when I transitioned my work to molecular biology applications including diagnostic testing and fluid tracing using DNA tracers.

I am certified by the American Board of Clinical Pathologists as a Technologist in Molecular Biology (MB).
