About Bennett Koerber

I received my PhD (2022) in history from Carnegie Mellon University where I studied the histories of sport (primarily college football) and higher education. I am now a senior research associate with Taylor Research Group, a litigation and environmental research company. I am passionate about all things outdoors and LSU Tigers football. Originally from Lafayette, LA, I now live in Pittsburgh and enjoy all the city has to offer!
