I majored in economics and philosophy at Grove City College before completing my doctorate in economics at George Mason University. My research focuses on the legal origins and political consequences of financial markets.

I love teaching more than anything -- navigate over to the "Teaching" page to see some sample syllabi and rave reviews from students. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy classic literature, mountain sports (hiking, backpacking, skiing), and chess. I live in Western PA with my wife and son.

I'm delighted to return to Grove City College as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2025.
