EDUCATION: I have a Ph.D. in Business Administration from Florida State University, a master’s in Managerial Science from Georgia State University, and a bachelor’s in Civil Engineering from Auburn University.
RESEARCH: I explore topics related to social influence in organizations, most often through the lenses of organizational politics, leadership, or the intersection of the two.
TEACHING: I teach management courses covering organizational behavior, negotiation, and leadership for undergraduates and research methods and organizational theory for Ph.D. students.
EXPERIENCE: Prior to my academic career, I spent nine years with a consulting engineering firm with more than 50 offices across the United States. During that time, I served in a variety of project, office, regional, and firm-wide management roles, including co-directing our “corporate university” training program for mid-career professionals.
