I am Professor of Political Science at Simpson College, near Des Moines. Simpson is home of the non-partisan Culver Public Policy Center and a Speech/Debate team that has won multiple national championships. It is an ideal place to study politics and work with talented students. I teach courses in U.S. politics and public policy, as well as an Honors class on conspiracy theories. I am the faculty advisor for Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) and NCAA faculty athletics rep (FAR) for the Storm.

My political commentary has been cited in national news outlets like the New York Times, CNN.com, BBC, USA Today, and more.
