I am an historian of religious and economic history in the trans-Atlantic world. My research focuses on religion in the early national and antebellum periods of the United States and uses this focus as a lens for examining broad themes in American history. I am particularly interested in the commodification of religion and in theologies of capitalism in the United States.  

I currently serve as the director of the North American track for the online M.A. in history in the School of History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies at Arizona State University.
