I am the Associate Dean of the College for Administrative Affairs and Rupert and Lillian Radford Professor of Mathematics at Washington and Lee University. Before joining Washington and Lee in 2013, I held faculty positions at Amherst College and Virginia Commonwealth University. I was promoted to Professor of Mathematics in 2018 and have served as Associate Dean since 2022.

My research is in functional analysis and Banach space theory. My work has been supported by the Fulbright Program and the National Science Foundation, and I have held visiting positions at institutions in the United States and Europe, including the National Technical University of Athens and Jagiellonian University. Since 2008, I have co-organized the Virginia Operator Theory and Complex Analysis Meeting (VOTCAM).

As Associate Dean, I lead a broad portfolio of academic administration, including College budgeting and resource allocation, academic space and capital planning, staff hiring, and faculty travel. I am also involved in planning Washington and Lee’s new integrated science center and lead the University’s NAGPRA compliance efforts.

I am married to novelist Rachel Beanland, and we have three children.
