I grew up in the greater Philadelphia area until moving to North Carolina for my undergraduate degree. My sport (swimming) kept me busy along the way, though I’ve rarely set foot in a pool since graduating. After spending a couple additional years in North Carolina following graduation from school, I moved west to Los Angeles seeking sunny skies and interesting work.

My interests are in economics and financial theory and how they can help explain the business strategies employed by leading agribusinesses in the face of the industry’s natural constraints. I also enjoy coffee, astronomy, fantasy fiction, and design projects.
