I am a professor, research scholar, and author. I've published more than two dozen texts on statistics, methodology, strategic analytics, behavioral health, and health care, having earned a national award for my writing, with over 200 institutions adopting my books, including Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, and my current institution, St. Bonaventure. My research is highly cross-disciplinary and collaborative, bridging knowledge creation across business and psychology fields in the health and healthcare space, with my research work being routinely published in the peer-review and in the press to include Oprah’s Magazine, The Huffington Post, Time Magazine, and the Wall Street Journal. I embrace a faculty-mentored research model, having mentored dozens of student research and capstone projects with over 3 dozen students publishing peer-reviewed papers under my advisement, and over 4 dozen students presenting at regional and national academic conferences. My career goals prioritize continued professional development and growth.

In the community,

• I serve on the Board of Directors for the Center for Women in Healthcare and Life Sciences (WIHLS): a global, non-profit, non-partisan research institute to advance opportunities for women in healthcare and life science industries; based in Chicago, IL.
• I serve on the Board of Directors for the Olean General Hospital Foundation: a regional non-profit with a mission to generate ongoing philanthropic support for Olean General Hospital's continued development and growth; Olean, NY.
• I serve as regional co-coordinator for Toys-for Tots: a national not-for-profit program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve – collects and distributes toys to children and families in need during the holiday season.

I am a proud veteran of the U.S. Marines and an identical twin – my twin brother is a veteran as well [Sergeant Major, U.S. Army, retired], and now owns and operates a Chick-fil-a restaurant here in the Western New York region. My wife and I live in "ski country" near Ellicottville, NY, with our sons, Aiden Andrew and Luca James, and our daughter, Grace Ann.
