He graduated from Trident Technical College in 2018 with an Associates in Applied Science: Welding Technology and from Clemson University in 2022 with a B.S in Materials Science and Engineering.

As part of the Corrosion Science and Technology Group within the PSD at Oak Ridge, he is investigating high-temperature corrosion of Fe-based Reduced Activation Ferritic-Martensitic (RAFM) structural alloys, alumina oxide-forming coatings, and SiC/SiC composite functional materials in molten lithium and molten eutectic lead lithium environments for fusion applications.
