Clear the blackboard.

Economics is driven by theory, not pure mathematics. If Statisticians could be economists, they would be! Economic theory is prerequisite to mathematical models and market-wide calculations. My work will focus on understanding first and foremost. If I am to provide you with the best work, I must understand the goals and underpinnings of the project. Whether you require mathematical modeling, database maintenance, or academic literature research, it is the economic theory that will keep our work on task and on time.

I am an Associate Professor of Economics and Statistics at Kankakee Community College and earned my Master of Arts in Economics from George Mason University. My written work has been published in the Journal for Law, Economics, and Policy, The Daily Economy, the National Review, and the R Street Institute, among others. As an economist, I meld the works of Ronald Coase and Ludwig von Mises to form my own sort of freshwater approach to the field of study.
