Long Biography

I love teaching. I am known to be a "task master." I expect a lot of my students and I provide them with a great deal of support and feedback. I think provide frequent and varied assessments. I am willing to review work a head of time and provide feedback to enhance learning. I am available to my students from 7:00 AM until 9:00 PM most days of the week. Most of my contact is online, but they do come to my office and do call me at home or at my office. I prefer on the ground teaching, but have learned a great deal from teaching fully online courses. In fact, teaching these courses has helped me become a more effective on the ground teacher. I have written four books and authored several articles. I frequently contribute to popular media as an expert consultant. And, I have also been on national television 5 times (honestly, it is fun being a celebrity for a few minutes).

I have two grown children. I have been married for 35 years to the best man on earth! We have a small farm with eight horses. We do kitten rescue work for a non-kill national organization. I have been a board member and officer at several local human service agencies across the years. We believe we should give to others as much as we can.
