Research Projects/Interests :

Over the past fifteen years I have been providing statistical teaching and consulting services to a wide variety of clients in many disciplines.

I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in statistical methods with applications in engineering, business and economics, agriculture, the life sciences, the social sciences, and survey research.

I consult with clients from diverse fields interested in utilizing statistical thinking in their research projects.

I have extensive experience teaching and consulting in two areas: 1) working with organizations interested in using statistical thinking to improve their quality, productivity and competitive position; and 2) working with government agencies on large and complex survey research projects.

I also enthusiastically volunteer my time to activities whose goal is to improve the quantitative literacy, and thus the decision-making abilities, of the children and adults in the community in which I live.
