Howdy! 👋

I'm a Senior Data Scientist at Lyft, a Visiting Professor of Economics at the University of San Francisco, and an Adjunct Professor of Economics at Boston College. Previously I was an Assistant Professor of Economics at Suffolk University. I also keep a blog with side projects, essays and stories.

If you're interested in talking about my work, your work, bikes, guitars, or anything else, get in touch!
