About

I am originally from Austin, Texas. I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Data Science in the ISOM department at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Recently, I worked as a Senior Risk Analyst working in Residual Value Strategy and Forecast at Toyota Financial Services

I spent one year as an Assistant Professor of Data Analytics, Economics, and Finance in the Business and Economics Department at Wayne State College.

Prior to my time in Nebraska, I was the Director of the Policy Research Laboratory in the Salem Center for Policy at The University of Texas at Austin and a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Finance Department.

I am also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for which I served a two year mission in central and southern Taiwan. During my mission I learned Mandarin Chinese. If you would like to learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints see here or here.

I enjoy fishing, coaching baseball and softball, and gardening, as well as studying theology and political/military history. For some book lists you can see here:
