Professional and Personal Interests
I joined the Department of Health and Kinesiology in the Fall of 2005. My research interests include injury mechanisms in contact sports, kinematic and kinetic analyses of taekwondo, as well as motor skill learning and performance. I am also interested in the use of computers in higher education and online curriculum. My personal interests include photography, outdoor activities, reading, practicing taekwondo in my spare time, and of course, playing soccer.
