Ph.D. Student | Past: J.D., Combat Veteran | Researching: Grand Strategy, Constitutional Law, U.S. Foreign Policy

Welcome to my website. I am a Ph.D. student in the University of Virginia’s Department of Politics and a Non-Resident Fellow of Columbia Law School’s National Security Law Program. My research explores grand strategy and constitutional law, with an emphasis on U.S. foreign policy.

My academic work has appeared in the Texas National Security Review and in an edited volume. My commentary can be found at The National Interest, War on the Rocks, Providence, the Modern War Institute, and elsewhere.

I am a fellow of the America in the World Consortium and the Alexander Hamilton Society and was previously a Rumsfeld Foundation Graduate Fellow.

I hold a B.S. (with honors) in American politics from the United States Military Academy at West Point, an MPhil. (with distinction) in intellectual history from the University of Cambridge, where I was a Rotary Global Scholar, and a J.D. (with pro bono distinction) from Stanford Law School, where I was a Jacobson scholar.
