Hi! My name is Michael 👋
I am a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Economics at the University of Georgia. I am also an assistant with the James C. Bonbright Center for the Study of Regulation at the University of Georgia. I was a Bastiat Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. My ongoing and past research focuses on industrial organization, labor economics, and broadband economics.
Prior to graduate school, I worked as a program manager at Mercatus, contributing to projects related to regulatory processes, technological innovation, and entrepreneurship. My writings on antitrust, aviation, broadband, cost-benefit analysis, drones, and social media regulation have appeared in USA Today, POLITICO Magazine, U.S. News & World Report, The Hill, and Tribune News Service.
I also have experience as a freelance web developer and enjoy coding projects.
