I am a graduate student at WSU Tri-Cities, WA, USA, in my third year of a Ph.D. program. My primary research interests focus on sediment phosphorus dynamics related to benthic cyanoHAB proliferation, and aquatic plant breakdown leading to downstream nitrogen transport. I am a U.S Army and para-military special operations veteran with a penchant for unintentional cursing and horrible "dad" puns.
