| Introduction | I'm an MBA student in Business Analytics at UALR and I am the owner of the Bowling Center in Searcy Arkansas called the Super Bowl. I bought the center this fall and currently operate the center. I also plan to pursue a Ph.D. in Economics. My research interests include: macroeconomics, Monetary Policy, Fiscal Policy, and Public Finance. This website will be focused on topics in macroeconomics which I find interesting. I've worked in banking and in education as a math/statistics teacher for my entire professional career. My entire professional career has been spent trying to become an economist. Economic research is what I'm most passionate about. I live to learn and economics is my favorite way to learn about the world. I live with my girlfriend McKenzie and we have an Australian Sheppard named Pollie. They're my favorite things in the world. |
