Bio

After growing up near Austin, Texas, I studied physics and math at Rice University. Following a stint as a campus minister, I was a postbaccalaureate research fellow for professor Michael Lindsay, working on the White House Fellows project.


I am currently working on a PhD in sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. I can often be found at my desk in the Institute for the Study of Societal Issues. In our free time, my wife and I enjoy climbing, running, and visiting our favorite faith community. In January 2013 we met Patterson and find we don't have much free time anymore.
