Industrial organizational psychologist, father, husband, and video game enthusiast.  I was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri, but I have had the pleasure of moving around in the mid-west a bit.  After college, I spent 6 wonderful years living in mid-town Detroit during which time I met met my wife, Theresa, while working towards the completion of my Ph D.  Together, we moved to the small town Rolla Missouri where we were blessed with two wonderful children while I was working at Missouri S&T. Currently, my family and I are proud to call Toledo, Ohio our home. In our free time we love exploring the city, especially the wonderful metro parks, visiting the zoo, and going swimming. My daughter has begun to take an interest in video games and we now enjoy going for walks and playing Pokemon Go together.
