I grew up in a small town in Mississippi named Canton. In 2004, I received a B.A. in sociology from Millsaps College, a liberal arts college in Jackson, MS. I then came to IU in the fall of 2004 because of my broad interests in medical sociology, mental health, the life course, and social psychology. I spend most of my free time with my wife Kristin and our two sons, Aiden and Noah. Although I rarely have time for much else, I also play guitar and enjoy watching obnoxious, big-budget movies.
