My interests include the politics of information technology, social media and policy, presidency, and American political development. My book, Engineering Expansion: The U.S. Military and Economic Development, 1787-1860, published by University of Pennsylvania Press, examines the U.S. Army's role in economic development from the nation's founding to the eve of the Civil War.
