I have published scholarly works in my three main areas of expertise: motivational interviewing, terror management theory, and college teaching. Many of my research presentations and publications are the result of collaboration with colleagues, especially those at Fort Lewis College. Furthermore, I have regularly travelled with students to research conferences and published with them in order to expose them to psychological science first-hand.
