About Me

I have been a member of the Biology Department since 1987 and currently serve as the Chair.  Courses I currently teach include Immunology, Histology, Cell Biology and courses for non-science majors.  Feel free to visit me outside of my posted office hours - if my door (Hughes 006) is open I would be happy to talk to you.  (Full disclosure note - that picture is more than 15 years old.)
