About Me

I am a statistician, systems thinker, and aspiring Renaissance man.

Professionally, I work as the Director of Research and Analytics for the Florida College System (FCS), where I conduct long-term studies, lead technology changes, and oversee all statutory reporting for the FCS.

My research interests are quite varied, both professionally and personally. The former includes demography, sampling methods, applied Game Theory, and efficent and ethical uses for Large Language Models (LLMs) in work and education. The latter includes Baroque music, military history, urban planning, international relations, and early modern European history. I am a classically trained pianist, an unapologetic Jane Austen fan, and enjoy reading nearly everything from philosophy to physics.

In my spare time I republish out-of-print Anglican theological texts and direct the Whitaker Fellowship at Prolego Press. Professional inquiries, collaboration requests, and questions about my research are always welcome.
