Chris joined the faculty in August of 2006. His areas of expertise are hedonic price analysis, growth empirics and applied nonparametric econometrics. Prior to employment at Tech he was an actuarial assistant at William M. Mercer, Inc. and has received bachelors degrees in both mathematics and economics from Nazareth College.

Outside of economics he enjoys spending time with his wife, Sandy, their overly large cat, Ajax, and their goofy Doberman Isabel.
