Welcome to my homepage!  I am a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at James Madison University.  Below you can find course information and more about me.

Teaching
: Fall 2024 (Please go to Canvas for course materials)
     
Research
:

I do research in algebraic combinatorics.  Generally I am interested in using techniques from representation theory to compute numerical invariants of interesting and beautiful combinatorial structures.  For more information, see my papers or cv.



Undergraduate Research Projects:

Here you can read about research projects I have done with undergraduates.

I am one of the directors of the Shenandoah Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics Conference (SUMS), held annually at JMU.
