About

I am Professor of University Studies at Hofstra University, on Long Island, New York. I began full-time in 1998 and was part-time for 10 years before that. My area is applied ethics (I teach courses in business and journalism ethics, as well as a course in ethics as it applies to everyday life). I also teach, now and then, a course on East African literature.

In spring 2012, I was the exchange professor at Claflin University, an historic black university, in Orangeburg, South Carolina.

I am also Leader Emeritus of the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island, in Garden City. I was the Leader of the Society from 1968-2001.

My wife Lyn and I were Peace Corps Volunteers in Kisii, Kenya, from 1965-1967.  We both have written books based in Kenya. Mine can be accessed under Publications on this site.

We are the parents of three children—Eric, Kori and Millie— and grandparents of three—MacKenzie, Ryan and Jordan.
