Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Oliver joined the Army in 2008 where he served as a Paratrooper with 4th Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division and deployed once to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2009. After leaving active duty, Oliver attended Towson University where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, with a concentration in Molecular Biology. While earning his degree, Oliver also served with the Maryland Army National Guard, first working in operations with brigade headquarters before becoming a 68W and working with the state medical detachment at Camp Fretterd, MD. After graduating, Oliver moved to Frederick and began working at Novavax, a clinical stage vaccine development company, in the clinical immunology department as a Research Associate performing clinical and development testing in support of an RSV vaccine candidate and later, a novel flu vaccine candidate.
In his free time, Oliver likes to enjoy the mountains surrounding Frederick by hiking or preferably mountain biking the trails. Oliver’s favorite hobby though, is SCUBA diving, which he has been doing since 2015. While Frederick might not be very conducive to SCUBA diving, he does his best to get to warmer waters every year!
Welcome to Team TATRC, Oliver! We’re thrilled to have you!
