I have spent most of my professional life in the public sector as a teacher, a research professor and in various positions at the state and federal government levels. I was the VP for Corporate Social Responsibility for the Apollo Group before joining WorkingNation as President. WorkingNation is a non-profit media enterprise dedicated to telling the stories of solutions in the worlds of education, economic and workforce development. Throughout my career I have been an advocate for facilitating collaboration and partnerships to achieve mutual goals.
