I am currently a 2L at the Syracuse University College of Law in Syracuse, New York. I'm married and have one child, a son.
I obtained a B.S. in Biology from St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York in 1998. I received a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from SUNY Upstate Medical University in August 2006 (See a list of my publications below). I am now a second-year law student at the Syracuse University College of Law.
Aside from reading and spending time with my family, I use my extra time to research my family's genealogy, a hobby I've pursued since middle school. I've recently forayed into the world of Genetic Genealogy, a promising new adventure in genealogical research. After learning that I belonged to the mtDNA 'A' Haplogroup, I set up a website where others could learn more about it. I'm also the project manager for the Bettinger Surname Project, and I am the author of The Genetic Genealogist.
Here is a list of my publications:
