I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Accounting at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Previously, I worked as an auditor for PricewaterhouseCoopers, where I served mid- to large-sized private equity- and family-owned businesses. I earned a Bachelors of Business Administration from the University of Notre Dame and am licensed as a CPA (inactive) in Illinois.

I study a broad range of formal and informal management control practices: incentives, monitoring, and cultural controls. A common theme across my research is the effects of higher-level managers on the use and effectiveness of control practices further down the organizational hierarchy. For my job market paper, I plan to study employees' use of information for decision-making purposes, especially how firms' other control practices influence the extent and performance effects of employees' information usage.

In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my incredibly talented wife, long-distance running, and baking perfectly rectangular loaves of bread.
