Economics and Ceramic Arts.

I’m an academic economist and ceramic artist living in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

When I wear my economist hat, I am associate professor of economics at Case Western Reserve University. I trained as an economist at Harvard University where I received a PhD in 2007. I have conducted research on diverse topics including automation, language, religion, entrepreneurship, and social status.

My ceramics practice focuses on handbuilding functional vessels. I began this practice in 2023 and am dedicated to improving my skills and design sense. I am a member of the Brick Ceramic + Design studio.
