Academic Biography:
I was an undergraduate at the University of Iowa from 1967-1971. This was a time of social turmoil and cultural change. My major was Mathematics and I liked Math, but as a discipline it was not useful in helping me better understand the social "revolution" going on at the time. I soon discovered Sociology and ulitmately received a PhD at Iowa in that discipline.
I came to teach at Monmouth in the fall of 1977 and have been here ever since. Monmouth was my first experience of a small, liberal arts college. It turned out to be a perfect fit for me. I thoroughly enjoy the close connections with students and the connections with other faculty members that cross traditional disciplinary lines.
