Currently I am a PhD candidate at Penn State University in the Department of Meteorology and the Astrobiology Research Center working with Jim Kasting and Sukyoung Lee. My research interests are broad and include planetary habitability, climate dynamics, global warming, extraterrestrial life, religion and society, and the philosophy of science.

I also participate in the central Pennsylvania music scene, performing primarily as a percussionist. I specialize in jazz drums, vibraphone, and congas though I also play keyboard and compose. My musical experience thus far includes jazz combos, wind ensembles, pit orchestra, jam bands, cover bands, and bluegrass.

I am always interested in meeting new friends, collaborators, musicians, writers, thinkers, and other like-minded individuals, so feel free to get in touch with me!
