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 and 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.

My political commentary has been cited in national news outlets such as The New York Times, CNN.com, BBC News, and USA Today.
