Research focus:
Cardiovascular health promotion

The goal of my research is: To investigate mobile health technologies that promote self-monitoring of eating and activity for weight loss in rural, mid-life men.

My research will make a difference because: Tailoring effective mobile health technologies for midlife men to use in self-monitoring their eating and activity for weight loss addresses an important rural health disparity — access.
