Ed. - Univ. of Houston; M.Ed. - Univ. of Houston; Ed.D. - Univ. of Houston; Ph.D. - Univ. of Texas. Visiting Professsor: (1) University of Alaska, (2) College of the Bahamas, (3) Arkansas State University. I am now retired, but I still advise (coach) Doctoral students on their dissertations. My wife (a medical professional and corporate executive) and I spend most of our time traveling, investing in real estate, and gourmet cooking (we DO NOT eat in restaurants, except when traveling). I spend my time divided among our small horse ranch in Arkansas, primary home in Texas, condo in North Carolina, timeshare in the Yucatan, our clinic in the UK, and with my wife who is presently on temporary assignment in Maryland.
Who I'd like to meet: My wonderful wife, TEN years earlier than I did. Anyone else I would care to meet is already dead.
