Hi, I am an Assistant Professor of Cognitive Psychology in the Psychology Department at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, VA. In the summer of 1998, I earned my Ph.D at Kansas State University located in Manhattan, KS.
PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS
I study memory and I teach General Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Behavioral Statistics, Memory Applications, Research Seminar, Experimental Methods, and Learning. I am very lucky because I love both teaching and research and I actually get paid to do both. I have attached my vita (e.g., my resume) and my teaching portfolio so you can get a better idea about my research and teaching.
SLACK-TIME
INTERESTS
I am a rabid 
fan. Tim Allen of Home Improvement and
I are alike in that respect. I think people who have experienced the pain that
Lions' fans have endured maintain passionate, life-long commitments to their
teams. I used to think that Barry Sanders was the ultimate form of an athlete
because he was the best running back ever and he was incredible humble; he let
his talents speak for him. However, I can't believe that Barry left the team
they way that he did. Nevertheless, Barry has to take care of him and we Lion
fans need to get over it. The Lions can show him that he made a horrible
mistake by winning it all.
I love my Wildcats and I especially love Wildcat Football. That is, I have been going to the games since 1991 and I have been to the Holiday Bowl (1995), the Cotton Bowl (1997), the Fiesta Bowl (1997), and the (oouch it hurt) Alamo Bowl (1998). Below you will find a picture of my friend Larry Bunce and I at the Cotton Bowl. The person who took the picture must have thought that it captured the moment because it made the front page of the Kansas City Star.
The grizzly looking fellow on the left is my buddy Larry and the person on the right who looks like he is going to run home and cry to mama is me.
I attended some Redman football games at Carthage in the Fall of 1998 and I enjoyed them. I thought the greatest part was the fact that the President of the college attends the games and screams his head off the entire time. More college presidents should follow suit.
I am interested in playing most sports. Lately, I play golf, flag football, basketball, street hockey, racquetball, and I lift weights. I also love to eat and watch movies and cartoons. Here are the links to some shows I thoroughly enjoy::
The Simpsons
Ren and Stimpy
South Park
Startrek: Voyager
ER
The Highlander
