I am the Chief Representative in Japan for an international energy firm, based in Tokyo.  From 2013 to 2018 I was the chief economist for the same company, based in Perth Australia. Concurrent with my job in Tokyo, I’m also a researcher at the Center for International Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

My research at MIT has examined Chinese and Indian foreign and national security policies, industrial innovation in China, and social and political reform in China.

I lived and worked in China from 1994 to 2013. I’m from Boston, Massachusetts. My wife Coral and I have two lovely daughters, Mirabelle and Ariane.
