About Me

I am an economics professor in Western New York. I received a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Tennessee in 2001. Previously, I received an M.B.A. in 1997 from Wheeling Jesuit University, and my bachelor's degree in 1994.

I have always enjoyed Big Ideas, and will be posting my related thoughts on this blog. I have also studied exercise and nutrition as a hobby for the last ten years. I hope to provide something of value to readers in this sea of information currently available on the internet.
