My career at Gonzaga started in 1991 when I taught as an adjunct professor. I have taught full time here since 1992.

I currently present courses in two programs: The Master of Arts in Leadership and Administration, and the Master of Anesthesiology Education. Please look at the links on my website to learn more about these programs.

The main courses I teach are ethics, research, leadership, teaching strategies, educational evaluation, and curricular design.

My primary area of research is the practical and professional ethics of teachers and administrators. This research evolved into designing and teaching courses in ethics for the Department of Leadership and Administration, and it has evolved into two books.

One of the books, Ethics and the School Administrator: Balancing Today's Complex Issues, published in 2006, has been adopted in several colleges and universities as a text for administration and leadership programs. This book helps administrators understand and more effectively deal with the ethical compromises that arise from the complex organizational and interpersonal demands of their leadership roles.

The other book, Ethics in the Classroom: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice, was published in 2008. This book, too, has been adopted in several colleges and universities as a text for teacher training programs and master's degree programs. This book helps show educators how they might choose among ethical approaches to decision-making as they face the difficult choices they make every day.

Another recent publication is Overload and Collapse in the K-12 System, an edited book my colleague, Al Fein, and I wrote and published in 2008. That collaboration was designed to help get the profound messages of our Canadian students' research findings into the hands of educators and policy makers.

My first book, An Organizational, Social Psychological, and Ethical Analysis of School Administrators' use of Deception, was published in 2003. This book examines the role of organizational dynamics in shaping ethically compromising situations.

Whether teaching in the Master of Anesthesiology Education program or the Master of Arts in Leadership and Administration program, I feel truly blessed to be with my colleagues here at Gonzaga as we focus on our most important work - which is to help nurse anesthetists, teachers, school administrators, and other educators transform their professional practice in order to improve the lives of others.
