About

I was born and raised in Michigan and attended college at the University of Notre Dame. I went on to complete medical school at Central Michigan University and my internal medicine training at the University of Utah.

For fellowship, I chose the University of North Carolina for fellowship, drawn by both its strong global health research programs and by the faculty I met during my interview – I was struck by how grounded and welcoming they were, despite their remarkable achievements in the field.

My research interests focus on global health and vector-borne disease. At UNC, I am working with the Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Ecology Lab (IDEEL) on malaria sero-surveillance and spatial epidemiology as well as with the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute on severe malaria pathogenesis. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three young children, backcountry skiing, and fly fishing.
