I am an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Economics at Montana State University. My research interests are at the intersections of agricultural labor markets, immigration, and technology adoption.
"Most of the people in the world are poor, so if we knew the economics of being poor, we would know much of the economics that really matters. Most of the world’s poor people earn their living from agriculture, so if we knew the economics of agriculture, we would know much of the economics of being poor."
- Theodore Schultz
"For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper. He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy. From oppression and violence he redeems their life, and precious is their blood in his sight"
-Psalm 72:12-14
"But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable"
-Leo Tolstoy
"By this we know love, that Christ laid down his life for us... Let us not love in word or talk, but in deed and in truth"
-1 John 3: 16, 18
