Belated #introduction. I grew up in #LaCrosse #Wisconsin. Ph.D. in #Economics at the University of Wisconsin, with an emphasis on #InternationalTrade. Serendipitously moved to #RealEstate and #Urban. Faculty at Wisconsin, George Washington, and #USC. Stints at #FreddieMac and #HUD. Married to a geriatrics physician at UCLA. Two daughters: one produces podcasts for #Marketplace, and the other is a coder/artist who teaches at #UIC. I love music, esp. #classical and #jazz. Decent #bartender.
