I am Associate Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, Director of the Doctoral Program, and Professor of Communication at North Dakota State University. I moved to NDSU in 2000 to launch an innovative doctoral program in the Department of Communication and that program has graduated nearly 40 doctoral students. I have written 34 books, 80 professional articles, and have presented over 300 professional papers.

I have been highly active in professional associations. I was the President of the Central States Communication Association, President of the World Communication Association, and President of the National Communication Association, a group of nearly 8,000 members.

I am interested in interpersonal communication, family communication, instructional communication, and new technologies.

I am currently teaching COMM 111: Honors Public Speaking. In Spring 2010, I will be teaching COMM 714: Marriage and Family Communication. I use a hybrid method of teaching courses that combines face-to-face sessions and online features.
