I am an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Colorado Law School. This spring I am teaching Deals and a Deals Colloquium. I have taught a range of tax and transactional courses in the past, including Federal Income Tax, Corporate Tax, Partnership Tax, Tax Policy, Venture Capital & Private Equity, and various seminars.

I joined the faculty of the University of Colorado in 2006. I have also taught at several other law schools, including UCLA, Georgetown, Illinois, Columbia, and, most recently, NYU.

In 2007, a draft version of my paper on carried interest helped prompt Congress to propose Section 710 of the tax code, which would tax a portion of carried interest as ordinary income rather than capital gain. The paper, Two and Twenty: Taxing Partnership Profits in Private Equity Funds, was later published in the NYU Law Review.

My research generally focuses on tax policy. This spring, I am finishing a paper on the tax treatment of founders' stock. I have presented the paper at general faculty workshops at Wash U, Florida State, and NYU.
