I got my PhD under the direction of Alex Iosevich from the University of Missouri in 2011. I then held a position as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Delaware Mathematics Department. I am currently an Assistant Professor at Missouri State University. There are some lecture notes available. You can download a .pdf of my full CV here. Many of my preprints are available on the arXiv. My dissertation is available here. I am a managing editor of the Online Journal of Analytic Combinatorics and I have refereed for the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics.
