About Me

Hello! I am an Assistant Professor at Texas State University. 

My research examines how individuals and firms respond to incentives, uncertainty, information, and institutions. I apply a range of empirical and experimental methods to questions spanning energy, environmental, and natural resource economics; agricultural and consumer markets; and asset markets, including trading cards and collectibles.

I earned my PhD in agricultural economics from Texas A&M University in 2019, where I developed a passion for studying unconventional oil and gas development and recreational fishing demand. I then spent two years as a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Chicago, where I expanded my research into behavioral and experimental economics, particularly through field experiments. 

More recently, I launched Cardonomics, a research and educational initiative that blends sports cards, economics, and university athletics to engage students, alumni, and the broader community. Visit the TX Hill Country Card Show homepage for upcoming events, or read more about the economics of collecting in The Athletic (New York Times), TXST Newsroom, or Hillsview Magazine.

I welcome inquiries about research collaborations, consulting, and expert witness services.
