I am a professor at Washington and Jefferson College. At W&J, most of the courses I offer involve the topics of Technology, Media, and Archaeology; and more information can be found in the Courses section of this site. In addition to teaching and research, I spend a lot of time in web design and mobile applications development.

In past years, I placed considerable effort toward research and development work in conjunction with the OSU Excavations at Isthmia in Greece, and the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in Colorado. More recently, I have focused my work primarily on technology, design, and learning. More information concerning my research interests and development projects can be found in the Research section of this site.

Before W&J, the highlight of my professional career involved my participation in the the activities of Centre College in Danville, Kentucky where I served as Coordinator of Instructional Technology and Assistant Professor. Centre is an excellent liberal arts college, and in many ways shaped my understandings of liberal education.

Of course, I completed my Ph.D. in Technology at The Ohio State University. My dissertation, The Construction of Knowledge from Multimedia Applications, explored how students learn about archaeology from multimedia materials. More information regarding my academic career can be found in the Publications, Presentations, Grants and Vitae sections.

One of my more defining characteristics is my love of travel and experience of foreign cultures. Over the past two decades I've been fortunate enough to travel to fourteen different contries and have managed to live abroad for more than three years. Most of my travel has centered around Greece, Ireland, and the southwest United States; and you can learn more about my trips in the Travel and Imagery sections.
