I
received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from The Catholic University of
America in 1972. My graduate
studies were completed at Lehigh
University, where I received a Master of
Science (1974) and a Doctor of Arts in Psychology in 1976.
The focus of my graduate training was the teaching of Psychology.
Although I consider myself a generalist, I have particular interests in
research methods, social psychology, cognition, and philosophy.
I have been a member of the psychology faculty at Bucks County
Community College since 1976, and I constantly marvel that there are people in
this world that would actually pay me for doing something that is so much fun:
teaching.
Most recently, I led the College reaccreditation Self-Study – a
College-wide assessment of our strengths and a plan for our continuing
improvement.
I am one of the few people you are likely to meet who claims Washington, D.C.
as a hometown (as opposed to temporary residence.)
I live in Doylestown with my wife (Barbara--who
is the Director of Transfer Services Transfer
and Job Resource Center), and three daughters (Beth, Jennifer,
and Eileen.) I enjoy warm
weather pursuits, such as swimming, sailing, and water skiing.
I love to read, and enjoy listening to my growing collection of jazz
recordings.
At heart I am a perpetual student, and I think that teaching is the best way to learn. I find human behavior to be an endlessly fascinating subject for learning, and I have found teaching to be the most effective and rewarding way of learning.
