I am an Associate Professor of Psychology at Youngstown State University in Northeast Ohio.
I have over two dozen publications in peer-reviewed journals and over 60 presentations at national and international conferences.
My scholarship attempts to balance philosophical interests (philosophy of science, interbehaviorism) with basic (human language and derived relational responding) and applied research (antecedent control of undesirable behavior).
I received an A.A. from the College San Mateo, a B.A. from California State University-East Bay, and my Ph.D. from the University of Nevada, Reno.
I am on the Board of Editors for The Psychological Record, Journal of Organizational Behavior Management, and Behavior and Social Issues. I also serve as a reviewer for the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis.
