Aaron Schneider is a a second year PhD student.
"I received my masters here at Iowa and am currently in my first year of Phd work. I did my masters working in a cardiovascular lab over in the physical therapy department. I have 6 brothers and sister, all of us adopted (none related biologically), and a 3yr old son named Benjamin. My family has a 2000 acre farm with 300 cattle which I go home a good amount and still work on during the weekends. I really enjoy teaching, am nervous but excited about getting into more stats and look forward to working with both of you to help me learn more and progress. I look forward to working together over the next few years. My hobbies are hunting, working out, hiking, playing sports of any kind, but my one true calling in life is eating good food. "
