Biography

I am a Professor in the Behavioral and Social Sciences Department at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide Campus in Daytona Beach, Florida.  I received my Ph.D. in 1991 from the University of Rochester with a major in Psychological Development.  In 2000, I joined Embry-Riddle, where my work focused on motivation and human factors issues in applied domains.  My current research interests examine how individual differences interact with technology and games to understand motivation, relatedness, and performance. As well, I often write about leadership. I serve as the Senior Faculty Research Fellow for the College of Arts and Sciences - World Wide, and am the author of over 80 research articles and 120 presentations. I am active with a number of professional organizations including the Society of Psychologists in Leadership and PsiChi International.
