He is the president of the Foundation for Economic Education and president emeritus of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. He holds a B.A. degree in Economics from Grove City College (1975) and an M.A. degree in History from Slippery Rock University (1978), both in Pennsylvania. He taught economics at Midland’s Northwood University from 1977 to 1984 and chaired the Department of Economics from 1982 to 1984.

His articles have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor, USA Today, Baltimore Sun, Detroit News, and Detroit Free Press, among many others. Reed’s most recent book is Striking the Root: Essays on Liberty. Since 1978, he has delivered more than 1,000 speeches in 40 states and 15 foreign countries, including one at People’s University in Beijing, China. We are honored to have him as our keynote speaker at this conference.
Pete Eyre went to school for law enforcement, eventually concluding that he could have a bigger impact working through other mediums. He is currently an outreach consultant at the Future of Freedom Foundation. His past experiences include interning at the Cato Institute, completing the Charles G. Koch Summer Fellowship Program at the Drug Policy Alliance, serving as the director of the Institute for Humane Studies’ Campus Outreach Program, and filming an almost-real-time documentary in search of liberty across America, the Motorhome Diaries. His newest projects are Liberty on Tour and Cop Block.
Jared Fuller is currently the Southeastern Regional Director to Young Americans for Liberty, the Youth Director for Our America Initiative, was the 2009-2010 Southern Director to Students For Liberty, and has worked on many local, state, and national campaigns to bring about effective changes in the way we perceive the role of government. A New Mexico native, Jared moved to North Carolina to acquire his double-major of political science and philosophy from Wake Forest University. He is also the co-founder and Executive Director of Year of Youth, an initiative geared toward training and mobilizing youth activists for the 2012 election season, building a network of passionately pro-liberty students and young professionals for elections to come.
Allison Gibbs is the founder and Executive Director of the Ladies of Liberty Alliance (LOLA). She is also the Director of Outreach for the Campaign for Liberty. She did AIDS and DOD research for about 8 years of her life. She is a published writer, poet, and has spent the last 8 years developing a philosophical theory derived from Plato’s Theory of the Forms.
Jenna Ashley Robinson joined the Pope Center in January 2007. She was previously the E.A. Morris Fellowship Assistant at the John Locke Foundation, where she worked since 2001. Robinson graduated from N.C. State with a degree in Political Science and French in May 2003 and has studied at the University of East Anglia School of American Studies in Norwich, England. She received her master’s degree in Political Science from UNC Chapel Hill in December 2005. She is a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science with a concentration in American politics and a minor in methods. She is also a graduate of the Koch Associates Program sponsored by the Charles G. Koch Foundation.
Dr. Daniel D’Amico finished his Ph.D. in economics at the age of 26 from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. While at George Mason, professor D’Amico received fellowships from The H.B. Earhart Foundation, The Ludwig von Mises Institute, The Mercatus Center and The Institute for Humane Studies. He participated in and conducted original field research with The Mercatus Center to investigate the effects of hurricane Katrina on the gulf coast region. His dissertation, “The Imprisoner’s Dilemma: The Political Economy of Proportionate Punishment,” was awarded the Izrael M. Kirzner award for best dissertation on Austrian Economics. He is currently in the process of seeking publication for several of its constituent parts as well as continuing his ongoing research on the economics of crime and punishment.
Jeff Fulcher joined the Advocates for Self-Government as Program Director in August of 2009. After years of helping college students start freedom-focused newspapers, he is responsible for growing the effectiveness and reach of the Advocates mission. Before coming to the Advocates, Jeff was Director of Publications at the Leadership Institute. He traveled from New England to California empowering a generation of students to stand up for freedom on their campuses. Under his direction the Student Publications Department nearly doubled in size, and grew their programmatic offering to include public speaking, fund-raising, investigative reporting, writing, and design workshops. Jeff has worked with national groups like Citizens Against Government Waste and United Press International to develop and implement marketing strategies. His writing has been published in the American Spectator and the Young American Revolution.
