I currently live and work in Indianapolis. I was raised in Pittsburgh, and my roots have been in Western PA. I'm a huge Steelers fan...
I'm the research director at the Foundation for Educational Choice, an organization committted to educating the public on the issue of school choice. I design our surveys, as well as manage and edit our research projects.
For six and a half years I worked as a researcher and administrator at the Brookings Institution in Washington DC. I was a research analyst for the first five issues of the Brown Center Report on American Education (2000-2004). I also managed the activities of the National Working Commission on Choice in K-12 Education (2001-2005).
Special interests are surveys, polling, and the social sciences.
