Major Interests:

My graduate training enabled me to specialize in the field of Cognitive Psychology, but I have always been interested in the physiological underpinnings of cognition. During my time at Thiel I have been fortunate to be able to share my passion for the ever-expanding field to Cognitive Neuropsychology with our students.


Family:

I live with my daughter and step-son in Austintown, OH. My daughter and I both enjoy playing music. She and I began learning to play violin when she was four. Now she plays circles around me. Her growing musical skills constantly remind me of the plasticity of the youthful brain.
