I'm a Doctoral Candidate in the Department of Economics at George Mason
University. This site houses information about my research, teaching,
and job market materials.
My dissertation, titled "The Economics of Prison and Street Gangs,"
examines the internal governance institutions of California-based
criminal enterprises and the effect of the prison system on gang
formation and activity. You can find out more about my dissertation on
the Job Market Information page.
I've also published articles on sweatshops, foreign aid,
entrepreneurship, and regulation in post-natural disaster
environments. See the research page for links to my papers on these topics.
