I was born in Dallas, TX, in 1982, and in addition to Texas, have lived in Alabama, Massachusetts, and even Australia. I received my degree in Computer Science at Vanderbilt University before realizing I was interested in studying something quantitative, but with a more human element to it. On a whim, I decided to try out Economics at The University of Tennessee, where I could get in-state tuition. I fell in love with the subject and now it seems I'll be doing it for the rest of my life.

To the right I include maps of the countries/states I have spent time in (not flown over).
