I am the Jaeke Professor of Family Life in the Department of Psychology at Augustana College in Rock Island Illinois. I received my Ph.D. in Educational Psychology at the University of Iowa, and have been at Augustana since 1971.

I teach primarily in Family Life, Child Psychopathology, Introductory Psychology , Statistics, History of Psychology and LS113.

My research is investigating the relationships between parenting, educational style and self-esteem, and we have recently begun a new research project investigating the relationship between depression, needs and personality variables as they relate to marital satisfaction.

I am a licensed psychologist in Illinois and continue to consult primarily
in the areas of assessment of children and executive coaching.

I am an avid golfer and compulsive exerciser.

Current favorite quote:

"When a person has discovered the truth about something and has established it with great effort, then, on viewing his discoveries more carefully, he often realizes that what he has taken such pains to find might have been perceived with the greatest ease. For truth has the property that it is not so deeply concealed as many have thought... For everything...is shown to us by Nature so openly and clearly that nothing could be plainer or more obvious."Galileo from Galileo at Work: His Scientific Biography, by Stillman Drake
