About

I am an Associate Senior Instructional Professor and the Faculty Director of the MS in Data Analytics and Policy at the Harris School of Public Policy. My research interests are in applied microeconomics, primarily the fields of public, urban, environmental, and labor economics. I also have work related to health and sports economics topics.

Prior to working at UChicago, I majored in Economics and English at Clemson University and worked as a research associate for Compass Lexecon in Washington, DC.  I earned my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Virginia, and I was previously employed as an Assistant Professor at Florida State University.  I live in Hyde Park with my wife, Susan; our son; and our dog, Boomer.
