Michael began his academic career at Miami University, where he completed BA's in economics and international studies, a minor in French, and an MA in economics. Before accepting a doctoral fellowship at the University of Illinois, he spent a year skiing and mountain biking in the Teton mountain range of northwest Wyoming. As a PhD student at the University of Illinois, he taught graduate level macroeconomic theory while completing his dissertation in theoretical political economy.

 

Within the economics department at AUP, he teaches macroeconomics, public economics, international monetary economics, and econometrics. Additionally, he teaches quantitative methods and global public policy in the MPPA and MPL programs.
