I am an Associate Professor of Economics and Data Analytics at the University of St. Thomas. My primary research fields are economic growth and development, macroeconomics, and forecasting. My research focuses on how informal firms shape aggregate outcomes in developing countries, and on the role of data revisions in economic forecasting. Many of my research projects are collaborative work with students, leading to an intentionally eclectic research agenda rooted in the liberal arts tradition.
I was born and raised in the heartland—Central Iowa. I received my bachelor’s degree from Central College and my doctorate from the University of Oregon.
