I'm a writer, keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, leadership coach, and consultant working mostly in the higher ed sector (although I have a number of corporate and non-profit clients, as well). I'm also an award-winning professor at Georgia State University Perimeter College, a former dean and department chair, a Senior Fellow at the Academy for Advancing Leadership, and a founding member of The Student Retention Project. 

As a regular contributor to The Chronicle of Higher Education and other publications, I've written extensively on leadership, professional communication, student success, critical thinking, the higher education job market, free speech and academic freedom, teaching and learning, classroom management, and related topics. I'm also the author of six books, including Building a Career in America's Community Colleges, The 9 Virtues of Exceptional Leaders (with Karl Haden), Welcome to My Classroom (now in a second edition), Think Better, Write Better, and the recently-released 31 Days with the Virtues (also with Karl). The second edition of Think Better, Write Better will be released in the summer of 2021 and a third volume in the 9 Virtues franchise--a comprehensive workbook and study guide--later in the year. 

I hold certifications from the Chair Academy and The Center for Teacher Effectiveness and have worked with universities, colleges, schools, corporations, hospitals, and other organizations across the country. I also speak frequently at conferences. You can find a complete list of my past and current clients here, my speaking schedule here, and several testimonials here.

My wife Bonnie and I have four adult children and six grandchildren--so far.
