Education
Ph.D. Exercise Physiology, Michigan State University, 2005
M.S. Cardiac Rehabilitation & Exercise Science, East Stroudsburg University, 1998
B.A. Exercise Science, Calvin College, 1994

Research Interests
My current research focus is on the influence of exercise and genetics on thrombosis and fibrinolysis. I hold a secondary interest in fatigue and pain related to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
