More about me

I grew up in beautiful Chester County, where I still live, graduating from Twin Valley High School in Berks County in 2016.

In 2020, I graduated from West Chester University with a B.A. in history. At West Chester, I immersed myself in the campus and community and built a reputation as a servant leader as a member of the Student Government Association (SGA) and the Friars’ Society, a community service organization. In 2022, I graduated with an M.A. in social sciences from the University of Chicago, where I studied right-wing extremism and conspiracy theories. While at UChicago, I helped construct the first comprehensive database of January 6 insurrectionists.

Since 2022, I have worked as a researcher and intelligence analyst combatting right-wing extremism and white supremacy. My portfolio of extremists includes neo-Nazi groups, anti-immigrant extremists, the Proud Boys, and Christian nationalists. Over the last few years, I have watched dangerous right-wing extremist ideologies become more normalized and accepted in mainstream politics.

I am also a musician and small business owner. As a guitar player, I regularly gig in the Philadelphia area. I also run a guitar effects pedal company with my buddy Sean.
