Personal:

Originally from the small town of Galway, NY (near Saratoga), I currently live in Buffalo, NY.  I'm a pharmaceutical sciences Post-doc at the University of Buffalo working on the pharmacokinetics, dynamics, and pharmacology of Antibodies and Protein Therapeutics.  I  graduated from the University of Buffalo School of Pharmacy with my pharmD in 2007 and my PhD in 2011. I also work part time as a community pharmacist.  I'm married and have 2 dogs (Sadie, a AKC lab, and Ralphie, a Eskie mix).  We enjoy anything outdoors from Backpacking and hiking to snowboarding and water skiing.  I'm making a large effort to do the majority of commuting by bike for fitness, money savings and general green-ness.
