I am an Associate Professor of Political Science and the Pre-Law Advisor (Concentration Coordinator) at University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) in San Antonio, TX.  My research and teaching subfields of interest are Public Law (Law & Courts) and American Politics.

Prior to coming to UIW, I served in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, attaining the rank of Sergeant and completing two active-duty tours of Iraq (Ramadi, 2005-2006 and Tallil, 2009).

After deployments, I completed the BA in Political Science at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, minoring in History (summa cum laude, 2011).  I completed the MA and PhD in Political Science (2013, 2017) at the Maxwell School of Citizenship & Public Affairs of Syracuse University. Commendations include the University Outstanding TA Award (2015), and the All-University Dissertation Award (2017).
