General Interests
I have a keen interest in several scientific fields, including natural product chemistry, QSAR, data mining, structure-based drug design, and cheminformatics. I also enjoy writing software code in Ruby, although Python is predominant in this field. As a Protestant Christian, I strive to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. In high school, I was a member of a male double quartet and later conducted a small church choir for nearly twenty years. In my free time, I love reading, listening to music (particularly classical music, operas, and contemporary Christian music), and spending time with my three sons.
