I am an assistant professor in the Department of Economics and faculty affiliate of the Murphy Institute at Tulane University, as well as a Faculty Research Fellow at the NBER. I received my Ph.D. in economics from the University of California, Irvine in 2019.
 
My current research lies at the intersection of political economy, economic history (with a focus on the U.S.), urban economics (with a focus on economic geography), and public economics (with a focus on elections).
 
While at Tulane, I have taught courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including in microeconomic theory, political economy, and economic history.
 
In my free time, I enjoy chatting about politics, writing music and fiction, working on house projects, and spending time with my wife Amy, our two children, and our cat Arthur.
