He/Him

I am trans and asexual and I am a biology professor.//

 

I earned my Master’s at the University of Central Arkansas and am now working as the lab manager and adjunct professor in the biology department at my undergrad alma mater, Hendrix College. My area of interest is evolutionary biology; I’ve always been fascinated with the history of life on Earth and how things diverge and change. I’ve mostly taught introductory classes, which I always enjoy because it gives me a chance to be enthusiastic and get students interested.

Everyone in my department knows I’m trans (half of them had me as a student pre-transition!), and I’ve been involved in campus talks about queer issues. I’m the faculty advisor for the campus trans group; I wanted to make sure they had an Adult, both to ask questions and to just see that yes we are out there, living our lives and thriving. In my spare time I play TTRPGs, draw, and write sci-fi or fantasy stories.
