Hobbies/Interests

Professor Tatebe comes from the Mahoning Valley in northeast Ohio. Outside of chemistry, he has passions for sports [mostly football (soccer), baseball], music, and games. Together with his wife, they raise their two sons (6, 3) and Australian Shepherd to do justly, love greatly, and follow in the steps of Christ [to the best of their ability]!
