I am currently an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Georgia State University. I study political behavior, with most of my time devoted to studying public opinion about foreign policy, correcting factual misperceptions held by citizens, and voting behavior.  A more detailed explanation of my research can be found here. 

At GSU, I regularly teach Political Psychology and War and Public Opinion at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.  I also frequently teach Introduction to American Government.

I received a BA from Colby College and a PhD from Duke University.  Prior to grad school I spent four years in Washington, DC working for the polling firm Bennett, Petts, and Blumenthal. 

I am married and have one daughter (pictured with me above).  When I am not doing political science, I spend time (in no particular order) playing with my wife and daughter, cooking, playing guitar, or watching my favorite sports teams.
