I am currently five years into my third career. My teaching interests include state and local government, presidential and legislative politics, as well as research methods and public policy. My primary scholarly interest remains urban sustainability as policy, and I a manuscript near completion for publication in the summer 2010. Moreover, after 25 years as a Certified General Appraiser, I have a deep interest in the decidedly more economic issues of "market value", as well as zoning issues (and the affect on market value), while I have outlined manuscripts for each of these areas. Finally, I have been married for 33 years to a Registered Nurse, and she and I have three children. The oldest is a computer engineer (he is married with one daughter), our middle girl is a university junior studying to be a Registered Nurse, while our youngest daughter is a junior in high school -- she is hoping to become a medical doctor -- who has been invited to play volleyball for the United States in Australia in July 2010.
