A North Carolina native and graduate of Chapel Hill High School, Reeve earned a bachelor's degree with distinction from the University of North Carolina in 1994 and subsequently worked for several years as a statistical consultant in the Research Triangle area. He returned to UNC to complete a master's (1999) and PhD (2000) in the L. L.

Upon earning his PhD, Reeve worked as a psychometrician and Program Director at the National Cancer Institute. He joined the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health faculty in 2010, earning tenure four years later. He is currently Full Professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management; Research Fellow at the Cecil G.
