I am Assistant Professor of Economics at Hood College. Previously I taught at Wake Forest University.
I have a Ph.D and M.A. in Economics from George Mason University, and a B.A. in Economics from the University of Connecticut. Go Huskies!
My research broadly explores the political economy of innovation, technological growth, and intellectual property using the tools of new institutional economics, public choice, and market process economics.
I am a passionate user of R for data analysis, and R Markdown and GitHub for writing reproducible research, version control, and managing my workflow. I occasionally blog here about using these tools in my research and teaching.
