I'm a historian of technology, labor, slavery, and capitalism in the nineteenth-century United States and Atlantic world. In 2024, I graduated from Princeton after writing a senior thesis on the labor regimes and economic arrangements that emerged around cotton ginning in the antebellum U.S. South. Now, I'm a Mitchell Scholar pursuing an M.A. in History from Queen's University Belfast. My work here centers on Belfast's textile industry, particularly its response to the international social and economic dislocations caused by the U.S. Civil War.

My historical interests and approaches have been deeply shaped by upbringing in postindustrial Pittsburgh as the son of two lifelong labor organizers.
