Greetings and welcome! I am a Professor in the Communication Department where I teach in the Speech Communication Division. I have been at NKU over fifteen years and the bulk of my teaching has been in the area of organizational communication. I also coordinate the internships (SPE 395) for the division. The syllabus for SPE 395 is provided below. If you have questions about the internship please email me with your questions. I am also a professional parliamentarian and serve as a convention parliamentarian to non-profit groups and organizations. My research interests are linked to this area and I am currently involved in an ongoing research project that examines governance issues in residential associations and professional organizations.
