Thanks for checking out my website!

I grew up in Mesquite, TX, a suburb of Dallas, but I’ve lived in Massachusetts and Rhode Island since 2010. I’m currently Visiting Assistant Professor in Astronomy at Mount Holyoke College and a Research Scientist at the Planetary Science Institute. I received a B.A. with honors in geology and music from Amherst College, an M.A. in isotope geochemistry from Harvard University, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in planetary geology from Brown University.

When not staring at a computer screen, I like to play the violin and compose music, eat donuts, and design custom LEGO models (not at the same time). I’m currently located in South Hadley, MA with my wife Breanne and our three cats.
