Brief Biography:

I came to Kennesaw State University in 2004 as an associate professor in economics. Before that, I taught at Vanderbilt University for five years. I hold a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Maryland and an M.A. in economics from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. As an applied microeconomic theorist, I research in the areas of auctions, bargaining, and game theory. I have published articles in The International Journal of Industrial Organization, The Journal of Economics and Management Strategy, The Journal of Regulatory Economics, Contributions to Economic Analysis & Policy, and Environmental and Resource Economics.
