I have held faculty positions in universities from North Dakota to Norway to Germany. Taught just over 3,000 students. Worked in organizations from California to Florida to Germany.  I am a multi-award-winning teacher at West Point and the University of Maryland and have published roughly 100 writings including journal articles and books.  Have appeared in the New York Times; Los Angeles Times; CNN.com; the BBC; and National Public Radio, among many others. When not teaching or thinking about sociology, I try to walk, run, bike, swim, craft, or garden, and on rare occasions, accomplishing all eight in the same day.
