Hello, Kirkland! I am your Resident Dean, which means that I am here to support and advise you during your time in Kirkland House. I am entrusted with your academic success and personal wellbeing, and I am excited to be a resource to you as you navigate all that Harvard College and Kirkland House have to offer. My role is to advise, coach, mentor, and support you in whatever ways will help you make the most out of your time here, so please never hesitate to reach out at kirklandhousedean@fas.harvard.edu.

Prior to Harvard, I completed a Ph.D. in Politics at Brandeis University. My research and teaching interests include nuclear nonproliferation, grand strategy, and international security. I also worked at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY) for many years, where I managed residential summer academic programs at several college campuses. Additionally, I was a military brat and lived in several U.S. states and abroad, so I understand first-hand the challenges of transitioning into new, unfamiliar environments. 

I am joined in D entryway by my wife Kat Veach, who is the Assistant Dean for First-Year Academics in the Harvard College Freshman Dean's Office. She holds a Ph.D. in religion from Claremont Graduate University. 

During my free time, I enjoy birdwatching and board games. Come by my office to borrow a sci-fi/fantasy novel, to ask about a bird you saw, or just to grab some gummy bears and chat!
