I am an assistant professor in the Morrison School of Agribusiness at Arizona State University. I completed by doctorate in agricultural economics at Kansas State University, where my research and outreach efforts covered issues in livestock price risk management and domestic meat demand.

My current research focuses on consumer food spending behavior and the economic impacts of health trends on the U.S. food system. Further, I contribute to the Meat Demand Monitor project funded by the U.S. Beef and Pork Checkoff programs.
