Interests
I research broadly in public and nonprofit
administration, with an international, especially Brazilian focus. I
was born in South Bend, and am a graduate of Jimtown High School. After
five years in the US Navy Seabees, I moved to Australia where I worked
as a construction tradesman. After completing degrees at Griffith
University (B.A. in Politics and Society) and Deakin University (B.Litt
Hons in International Development), I returned to the US and completed a
PhD in Public Policy through SPEA at Indiana University, Bloomington.
Before coming to IUSB I taught at the University of Vermont, Bridgewater
State College, and Dalhousie University.
