Research Scientist and Project Manager

I joined BioMedware in August 2004. I am the project manager for all actively funded research projects at BioMedware. As a project manager, I collaborate with BioMedware's software engineers, research consultants, and beta-testers to design and create user-centered software for modeling and statistical analyses in public health and environmental science. I believe that fostering communication, collaboration, teamwork, and openmindedness is the key to successful project management and a healthy, fun, and productive work environment.
As a scientist, I plan to develop a research program at BMW in the near future. I am excited about the opportunities to study applied problems at the interface of public health and the environment.
At BioMedware, I enjoy a work environment that values creativity, flexibility, professional growth, and the ubiquitous availability of snacks.

Personal
In addition to working at BioMedware and training to play center for the Detroit Redwings (not likely given the above stats), I am proud to be a Lecturer at the University of Michigan (Ecology and Environmental Education), the Education Coordinator for the Buhr Park Children's Wet Meadow Project, a program assistant in the Theatre Program at the Center for Research on Teaching and Learning (University of Michigan), and a member of the board of directors of the People's Food Coop. Each of these experiences contributes significantly to the skills I employ at BioMedware.
Most of all, I enjoy spending time and traveling with my wife and partner of 15 years, Heidi.
