My journey began in 2015 when I wrote an undergraduate thesis on EVE: Online's double auction market. I then went on to receive my PhD in Economics from Purdue University under the advisement of Ted Castronova (Virtual Economies) and Timothy Bond (Labor Economics). Midway through, I got involved in game economics and have worked on 3 different MMORPG economies in addition to minimal work on several other projects. I also write academic and blog style articles on virtual economies and blockchain economics and have spoken publicly on virtual economies at venues from GDC to the ABA's Tax Law Meeting.

I'm currently the Head of Game Economy at Star Atlas, Co-Host of the Game Economist Cast, and Co-Chair of the IDGA's Game Econ SIG.
