He received his Ph.D. in Experimental Social Psychology from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. He has maintained several multi-institutional collaborative research projects focusing on the long-term impacts of service learning and civic engagement.

He has taught community-based learning courses for more than five years. His honors seminar, “Is Revenge Sweet?” explores how psychological barriers related to community members’ lasting resentment (i.e., revenge) against those released from prison inhibits successful ex-offender transition to the community.
