Biography

Hi! My name is Tony. I am from Grass Valley, California and I have my B.S. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from UC Davis. While in undergrad, I took up ballroom dancing and pool as some of my favorite hobbies. I worked as an undergraduate research assistant in Dr. Phil Power's lab in organometallic chemistry, and in Dr. Cody Pitts' lab in organic synthesis.
