Proudly hailing from the Duke City (Albuquerque, New Mexico), I’m excited to begin a dual degree MPP at Sanford and Master of Environmental Management at the Nicholas School. After graduating from Claremont McKenna College in California, where I ran long distance on the cross country and track teams, I served my home state as a staffer and speechwriter in the United States Senate for a little over a decade. My wife, Sarah, a Tar Heel (gasp), and our orange cat, Rudy, are also looking forward to joining me in moving further south from Washington, DC to Durham. We’re always game for outdoor adventures, trying new running trails, and sampling local food and breweries. My goal is to take all I learn here at Duke back home to New Mexico to help the state navigate the many friction points within the clean energy transition and climate change.
