I am an economist with research interests at the intersection of public policy, human health, and the natural environment.  I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at Colorado State University with an adjunct appointment in the Department of Epidemiology at the Colorado School of Public Health. My research focuses on wildfire management in the wildland urban interface, the impact of human behavior on infectious disease management, and impacts of air quality on human health.   You can find links to my work on Google Scholar and Repec.  Visit my research page for links and information to current projects.  Please contact me if you are interested in my research and/or considering CSU for grad school.
