I am an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies at the Virginia Tech Department of Philosophy, and a Core Faculty member at the David H. Kellogg Center for Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.

​

My primary focus is on political, ethical, and methodological questions at the intersection of economics, policy, and business, especially as they relate to happiness, well-being, and fairness.

​

I am currently working on a book on procedural allocative fairness.
