Welcome! I'm an economist whose work lies at the intersection of natural resource, agricultural, and urban economics.  Since 2022, I have been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Economics at Oregon State University. Prior to starting my position at OSU, I was a faculty member at Montana State University and a Research Economist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service.

Broadly speaking, I study various aspects of policies and decisions involving land and water use. I'm generally interested in how to best accommodate local resource conservation goals without hindering economic growth and development. I've also done a fair bit of interdisciplinary work, collaborating with hydrologists, soil scientists, and landscape ecologists, among others. See my research page for more information on my current and past work.
