Greater Denver Area
I teach Criminal Justice and Criminology courses at MSU Denver, with specialties in terrorism/extremism, federal law enforcement, corrections, cybersecurity, and study abroad. My service also includes significant work in curriculum development and review, IRB, Emergency Preparedness, Program Review, and Faculty Senate. My research interests are in pedagogical improvements and the scholarship of teaching and learning, as well as content analyses of the spread of violence through social media. I keep active in my discipline by volunteering as a victim advocate, serving on the Governor's Crime Commission, and being an advisory board member for the Junior Metro Crime Stoppers.

Online Course Facilitator
I am an alumnus of this same program and was asked to become an online facilitator. This graduate program is 100% online and relies heavily on dedicated facilitators for its success. Although I don't originate the curriculum for the courses, I am the front-line instructor for my designated section of the course. I have facilitated the following graduate level coursework: Criminology, Criminal Justice Administrative Behavior, Terrorism, Research Methods, Analytical Methods, Juvenile Justice, Cybercrime, and History of Criminal Justice.

Associate Professor
As a tenured, Associate Professor I am heavily engaged in all things academic. I typically teach a 4/4 class load and serve as an academic advisor. My courses currently include Introduction to Corrections, Research Methods, Federal Law Enforcement/Homeland Security/Terrorism, Criminology, Senior Capstone, Victimology, Social Structure, and study abroad (Great Britain and The Netherlands). I developed the curriculum for the Federal Law Enforcement course as well as a few courses for the new Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity. I also serve in a variety of service positions, most notably as Chair of the department curriculum committee (future Chair of the college curriculum committee), Chair of the IRB, as well as an engaged member of the Emergency Preparedness Committee, Program Review, Student Awards, and Faculty Senate. My research interests include scholarship of teaching and learning, specifically improving student engagement through high impact courses such as study abroad. I also have been conducting a comprehensive content analysis of how violence spreads through social media. I heavily engage with students and student interests including writing many letters of recommendation, helping students network professionally, providing and facilitating volunteer/internship opportunities, and conducting research/civic engagement projects.
Master of Criminal Justice
Criminal Justice
This program was 100% online. At the time, it was one of the few that was considered one of the "premier online graduate programs." It has maintained that reputation and has continued to win awards for being a prestigious online program. While serving active duty in the US Navy, I was unable to attend graduate school in person. This program allowed me to continue my service in full capacity and obtain my Masters Degree.
Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Criminology
I received assistantships/scholarships 3 years in a row. For 2 years I served as an Academic Advisor for the Criminology department and all Criminology undergraduate majors/minors. I also served as a Graduate Assistant and worked on a variety of projects. In my 3rd year, I served as a Teaching Assistant and taught 2 classes each semester.

I serve as a voting commissioner on this Governor's board. With a focus on evidence-based decision-making and policy-making, the commission serves as a think tank for legislative action in criminal justice reform. There are many subcommittees, task forces, and working groups. I have been directly involved with the Cyberbullying task force, the Reentry Task Force, and the Pretrial Task Force. urn:li:fs_position:(ACoAACho5MIBMdKqgTYgChzd46jffwswyeoVEk8,1354056865)
