Oh, hello. A little about me…
I work at the intersection of social science and data journalism, covering public opinion and voter behavior for CBS News. That involves original research, data viz, as well as producing stories and segments on elections, polls, and politics. On election nights, I analyze live results, project races, and manage our team at the network decision desk. You'll also occasionally find me breaking down data on the air.
My background is in quantitative social science. I earned a Ph.D. from Princeton, where I instructed graduate and undergraduate students, developed statistical software, and published academic research in journals like Harvard Data Science Review, Political Analysis, and Political Behavior. I previously earned an M.A. in psychology from Stanford, and conducted research for various federal agencies at Westat.
I live in New Jersey with my wife and our beagle Morty.
