Welcome to my web page at Seattle Pacific University where I have been a member of the sociology faculty for over twenty-five years. In addition to teaching courses in statistics, applied sociology, and the sociology of religion, I am the Executive Director of the Washington School Research Center, a research center funded initially by the Gates Foundation.

Navigate the pages and contact me if I can be helpful to you in your academic efforts. By the way, the background is a map I feature as the setting for my novel, Caine’s Treasure. The book takes place in the rugged Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California where I grew up.
