He joined Public Knowledge in 2017, most recently serving as its senior program associate, where he developed grant proposals and managed a portfolio of grants in digital preservation, web archiving, and digital monograph publishing. From 2013 to 2017, he served in a variety of grants management and data management positions with the Foundation's operations team.
