About Me:
I grew up on a small family farm in western Nebraska. I'm currently a 4th year PhD Candidate in Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Davis, and will complete my degree requirements by June 2013. I use microeconomic theory to study the economics of global poverty. I'm especially motivated by the topics of risk and poverty dynamics in rural areas, particularly in Africa. Through my research, I am committed to outreach and service which contributes to improving livelihoods of the global poor. In my free time I enjoy travel, cycling, running, backpacking, climbing, and generally being outside.
