He / Him / His
Contact: michael@taa-madison.org

Michael has been a graduate student in UW–Madison’s Integrated Program in Biochemistry for far longer than he cares to admit. He finally joined the TAA in the fall of 2016, and his interest in both electoral and community politics quickly landed him in PEC.

When he’s not compiling agendas and minutes for the committee, he’s likely to be in lab insisting that his co-workers learn the difference between the en-dash and the em-dash.
