About Me

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Human Development and Family Studies at Penn State. My broad research interests include the transition to parenthood, effects of children on parents, fathering, and media and family life. My family is very important to me, and I love going home every day to my wonderful wife and children. For more information on my specific research interests, click on "Interests" above.
