I joined the faculty of Suffolk University as an Assistant Professor of Economics in the fall of 2007.  I also have a joint appointment with the Beacon Hill Institute at Suffolk University.

 

Prior to joining Suffolk I was an Assistant Professor of Economics at San Jose State University and the Director of the Center on Entrepreneurial Innovation at the Independent Institute.

 

I became interested in economics through the writings of Milton Friedman, F.A. Hayek, Ludwig Von Mises, and Murray Rothbard.  I earned my Ph.D. from George Mason University in 2003 where I studied Austrian Economics and Public Choice Theory.
