What three things would you take if you were stranded on a desert island?

• A lifetime supply of tacos and Lucky Bucket Lager
• My wife (hope she likes tacos as much as I do)
• Can I throw in some diet coke for her?

If you weren’t a bioanalyst, what would you be?

• Something in construction management or civil engineering. I’m fascinated by building and hate being stuck in the office.

What is your favorite city?

• Nope, I want to move to the mountains.
