I manage the University of Michigan Library's Publishing division (publishing.umich.edu), which is composed of three parts: University of Michigan Press (UMP), Michigan Publishing Services (MPS), and Deep Blue Repository and Research Data Services (DBRRDS).

UMP is a publisher of scholarly books in areas that U-M is famous for: political science, performing arts, American studies, classics, and area studies (esp. East Asia, Africa, and Germany); of textbooks in English for Academic Purposes; and of text and trade books about the Great Lakes region. MPS is a provider of production services, mainly to the University community but increasingly also to other institutes and publishers around the world. Deep Blue provides repository and research data services to the U-M community, supporting the publishing of open-access versions of scholarly articles and book chapters, theses and dissertations, white papers, technical reports, and, increasingly, research data sets.

Professionally, I have worked at the University of Michigan since 2014. Previously, I was in a similar position at Purdue University Libraries and Director of Publications at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. I have a BA/MA from the University of Cambridge in Archaeology and Anthropology and an MBA from Oxford Brookes University. You can find a list of my publications at my Michigan Experts profile.
