Obviously they are a glutton for academic rigor 😬

They live with their partner, also a scientist, two Maine Coons cats, and a dog.

They love the outdoors especially rock climbing, hiking, camping, kayaking, and photography especially macro photographs of insects and other creatures.

They are very active in the LGBT sports community in the DC/MD/VA area especially in helping minority folx find a safe and accessible space in the rock climbing community.

They are definitely very much gay!!
