Oh hey there. I’m a behavioral scientist and research consultant, currently the co-founder and Chief Scientist at bluefoxlabs.ai, LLC. In this role, I manage and lead data science, organizational change, and AI projects. Specifically, I oversee the design, development, and implementation of data science initiatives, and ensure that BFL uses the most effective tools and techniques to analyze data, generate insights, and steward organizational change. 

I also continue to conduct academic research. My current research focuses on 1) creating digital tools to reduce misinformation (with the Misinformation Research Lab) and 2) how to build community-supported technology that prioritizes user ownership and data Sovereignty – that is, how to make technology users the owners of their own data. In support of this work, I am also currently a library team member at the Prosocial Design Network.

I also really like talking about social psychology in general. A lot. Sometimes, I even do it in bars when they leave the microphone up. Social psychology is especially cool because many of its theories can be used in everyday life to better understand the world, make better decisions, and increase well-being. I often consult to help organizations and people use behavioral science to make better decisions. Much of this work involves rigorous methodological and statistical evaluations, which I also consult in independently as well.

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of stand-up comedy around the Chicago area. See, I already made you laugh.

Since January 2023 I’ve been training in Jiu-Jitsu under Daniel Vianna at Vianna Brothers, Chicago. You can see my competition statistics at SmoothComp.

Before academic life, I worked in a grocery store, butcher shop, and metal factory. I grew up in Saegertown, Pennsylvania.
