About Me

I’m an environmental economist that enjoys applying ideas from ecology, mathematics, and physics in my research. Most of my work focuses on the structural modeling of bioeconomic systems.

I currently contribute to research for the Glen Canyon Adaptive Management Program at the U.S. Geological Survey. My aim is to help direct fieldwork in order to more efficiently manage the Colorado River ecosystem.

In the Fall semester, I teach Introduction to Econometrics (ECON 441). In that class, I show students how some correlations do have a causal interpretation—after some very clever storytelling. In the near future, I will teach the PhD version of that class, Applied Econometrics (ECON 741). Occasionally, I introduce students to sound environmental policy design in Natural Resource Economics (ECON 309). This schedule is expected to continue for some time.
