Brief Biographical Sketch:

Within the broad, fascinating discipline of economics, my main interests lie with banking, housing, and behavioral economics. In addition to my usual economics studies, I have a research job in the Media Lab and serve as the Editor-In-Chief to the school's yearbook, Technique.

When not openly maligning me, my friends and family describe me as "fastidious." Depending on the context, this can be a positive or negative distinction. It comes in handy for consistently turning out decent cakes and pastries, but can lead to tension when I refuse to let guests drink cold beverages from mugs.

I like to run, though the New England winter and I have a relationship I would describe as "cool" if not for the obvious pun. As one who grew up in suburban San Diego county—the land of freeways, beaches, and acrimonious water-rights battles—four years of living in Massachusetts are finally starting to give me an appreciation for Cambridge and the East Coast.

I hope to one day use my economics training to determine what social conditions in the mid 90's led them to produce more amazing, lo-fi guitar music than any other period in recent history. I would then like to recreate those conditions in our time.
