Dean and Director of The Ohio State University

Associate Professor of Sociology

During my undergraduate days, I wandered around intellectually. In graduate school, I got hooked on social science and became a sociologist. I also fell in love with Ann Thomas, my spouse and best friend. Amazingly, we both found jobs in Ohio, our home State. Ann became a social worker and I became an assistant professor at The Ohio State University at Newark, where I now serve as dean and director of The Ohio State University and associate professor of sociology. Ann and I have four children, all of whom have left home to make their way in the world. Our family is very musical, we frequently jam in our basement. I play the guitar and occasionally sing. We also have two dogs, Doc and Charlie, and a cat, M-ah. They bring us great joy.
