I am currently wrapping up my PhD at Wayne State University.   

My research applies techniques from labor economics to occupational health/safety.  I am particularly interested in the trucking industry.  My research explores safety performance measurement and the relationship between safety outcomes, driver compensation, and other carrier operational characteristics.   

I teach entry level economics, intermediate microeconomics, and analytics here at BGSU.

I enjoy teaching and I enjoy economics.
