Welcome—I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Public Policy in the Department of Political Science and the Public Policy Institute at Jacksonville University.

My research interests lie broadly in the areas of American political institutions, political economy, and special interest politics. My research applies formal and quantitative empirical methods to study these topics.

During the spring 2025 semester, I am teaching PPOL 541, Public Policy Analysis, for master’s students. At Jacksonville University I also teach PPOL 511, Political Institutions, Processes and Public Policy, and PPOL 521, Statistics and Research Methods in Public Policy.
