Biography

Currently I am a Principal Lecturer in the Department. My teaching responsibilities are in physical education teacher preparation and exercise science. I received my BA degree in Physical Education Teaching from San Francisco State University in 1976. And completed my graduate work here in this Department earning a Master’s of Science Degree in 1981 with an emphasis in Exercise Physiology. During my graduate work at USU I had 2 assistantships; one in physical education and the other as an assistant for USU Varsity Basketball. In 1988 I returned to Utah State University as a Lecturer. The eight years between my stints at USU I taught in secondary education and spent 5 years working overseas in Australia in basketball development and administration.
