Bio

Originally from Miami, FL, I received my Bachelor’s in both Economics and Sport Management at the ³Ô¹ÏÍø of Florida, then went on to receive my Master’s in Economics from Vanderbilt ³Ô¹ÏÍø. Throughout my time at both universities I held various positions ranging from interning with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe in Geneva, Switzerland, to working on the video staff for each school’s college football team. Following my Master’s I moved back to Miami and worked in the private equity space, most recently for a non-profit angel investment group. However, it was my love of teaching that brought me back to academia.Ìý

I currently live in Denver with my wife Emily, a resident physician at CU Anschutz, as well as our two miniature schnauzers. In my free time I love to travel, hike, read, play sports, listen to podcasts, play with my dogs, and watch my favorite sports teams.

Research Interests

My research focuses primarily on environmental economics, specifically as it relates to wildlife and animal reintroductions. However, I also am interested in political polarization and its impacts on environmental policy.
