Associate Professor of Economics
Elbert H. Neese Endowed Chair in Economics
Co- Department Chair of Economics & Business

Description / Biography

I teach a range of courses in the Economics and Business Department, including Principles of Economics, Comparative Economic Systems, Austrian School Economics, Business Management, and the senior seminar capstone. I enjoy introducing students to the economic way of thinking, as well as helping them (later on in their coursework) think about various career paths. 

In addition to teaching, I serve as the Neese Chair and organize the Upton Forum each fall (which is then the focus of the senior seminar course, redesigned each fall). I also lead the annual Business Networking Summit (aka “Econ Day”) and together with Brian Morello, CELEB Director, I co-advise Belmark Associates, a student-run market research group. I’m the faculty representative on the Beloit College Alumni Board Association (class of 2008). 

I’m interested in community development, culture and economics, and Austrian School Economics. After graduating from Beloit College, I worked with the Free Market Foundation of Southern Africa (Johannesburg, South Africa) as a Fulbright Student. Additionally, I was a business analyst at Deloitte Consulting and senior business analyst at Perficient, Inc.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two young children, Jack and Adele, being active outdoors, and cooking.
