I am an interdisciplinary Environmental Economist working at the
intersection of research, consulting, and applied technology. I split my
time between academic research and consulting/startup work, using data
science, economics, and AI to address climate and sustainability
challenges. My background includes a PhD in Economics, prior service as
a U.S. Air Force Civil Engineer, and years of experience working across
a variety of disciplines.
