Following my mission I graduated from BYU with a B.A. in Spanish/Zoology (1988) and an M.S. in Zoology (1991). I returned home to San Diego and worked as an Environmental Chemist. I earned a PhD in 2006 in Biological Sciences from the University of Notre Dame. From 2006-2008 I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA. I married Renee Jenkins (who coincidentally is the sister of a former Guayaquil missionary-David Jenkins) in 2002 in the Nauvoo Temple. We've been blessed with three sons; Benjamin who is 5, Isaac who is 3 and Dylan who is 2.
We now live on the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia where I work as a post doctoral researcher on a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded project that is looking at novel ways of surpressing mosquito populations in order to reduce the transmission of lymphatic filariasis and dengue fever. Sometimes, between the hot, humid tropical climate and the new and unfamiliar language (french) I have flashbacks to the mission! |
