Personal:

I grew up in Atlanta, GA and graduated from Westminster in 1991. I then attended Washington and Lee University and graduated in 1995. After college, I worked for two years for the National Enviromental Policy Institute (now defunct) in Washington, DC. I started graduate school in economics at the University of Virginia in 1997.



"Regarded in its essence, therefore, or according to the definition of its nature, virtue is a moderation or middle state,
but viewed in its relation to what is best and right it is the extreme of perfection. . . ."

-Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, 350 BC
