It is my role as Clinical Professor to better connect University research and leadership practice to improve the public schools. It is my goal to advance leadership practices that promote equitable, high quality student learning, as well as systemic organizational and professional learning. My leadership experience at the University includes serving as Director of the Wisconsin Idea Executive PhD Program, and Coordinator of the Master Administrator Capstone Certificate Program. Leadership experience in K-12 public education includes serving as Cesa Agency Administrator, Superintendent of Schools, School Business Manager, Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Director of Pupil Services, School Psychologist and Social Studies Teacher.

My research and practice is focused on K-12 public school improvement through school leadership. I have been deeply engaged in using case studies, school leader portfolios and school site visits to study school leaders and the leadership practices used to close achievement gaps and dramatically improve learning for all students. It is my role to promote leadership practices that advance equity in student learning and increase collaboration between practitioners and professors.

I love Wisconsin, the Badgers, and the Wisconsin Idea. I enjoy a number of hobbies including running (slowly at my age), golfing, skiing and snowshoeing (a must in long Wisconsin winters) and fishing and swimming (only in the summer) in Rock Lake in Lake Mills, Wisconsin where I currently live.
