I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics at North Dakota State University and am a Faculty Fellow with the Center for the Study of Public Choice and Private Enterprise. I have written regular columns as a Fellow with the American Institute for Research's Sound Money Project, which is dedicated to the investigation and promotion of sound money and its application in society. I attended George Mason University, where I was a Mercatus F.A. Hayek Fellow earning a Ph.D. in Economics in 2017. I also hold an M.A. in Economics from San Jose State University. I co-edited the 2 volume set, Macroeconomics, a collection of essays and primary sources that represent the core of macroeconomic thought. I have published articles in the The Independent Review, Policy Modeling, Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance, Southern Economic Journal, Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics, Journal of Entrepreneurship and Public Policy, Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, Review of Austrian Economics, and other peer reviewed journals.
