About Me

I am an assistant professor in the National Security Affairs department at the U.S. Naval War College. My research focuses on leadership, reputation, and the politics of diplomacy. My work has appeared in the American Political Science Review, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Security Studies, Conflict Management and Peace Science, and The Journal of Politics. I earned my Ph.D. in political science with distinction from Yale University in 2023.

Other than international politics, I like watching the San Francisco Giants, cooking, and hanging out with my wife, daughter, and dog.
