Media
Seen, heard, and quoted.
I help people make sense of the economy — on national television, in print, and on the air. Housing, interest rates, the labor market, the consumer: the story behind the numbers, in plain language.
Recent television.
CNBC · Fast Money Homebuilders face new competition as existing owners list — after new-home sales fell nearly 14% in May.
Everyday Economics.
I co-host Everyday Economics with Chris Krug — an unrehearsed, plain-English walk through the economic news shaping the week: jobs, inflation, housing, the Fed, and what it all means at the kitchen table.
Columns & commentary.
I write a regular column for Crain's Chicago Business and contribute market commentary to Yahoo Finance, with analysis picked up across national and local press.
Need an economist who's clear on air?
I turn complex data into a sharp, quotable read on housing, rates, jobs, and the consumer — on deadline.
