About Me
Hello and thanks for visiting my website. I am currently an Associate professor in the Department of Social Work at California State University San Marcos, Associate Director for Teaching & Learning in the Faculty Center, and a former Research Fellow in the RWJF Social Work Health Futures Lab. I graduated with my PhD in social work from Virginia Commonwealth University (GoRams) and my MSW & MPA from Eastern Washington University. I was trained as a mental health clinician and later moved into the nonprofit administration and organizational practice arena. My main research focus is on understanding and integrating digital and new media literacies into social work education at the intersection of Futures & Foresight practice, equity, and analyzing the impact of digital technologies on individuals, families, and organizations. I also consult with organizations on program evaluation and strategic foresight. This blog represents several ideas I am pursuing, and thus may act as a cornucopia of thoughts, ideas, and life experiences. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
Hope you enjoy this blog and be sure to find me on Twitter as well 🙂

Hey brother, I have some questions about your website. Can I get an e-mail address to contact you.
Specifically, I want to know if you are hosted at WP and if you have a premium theme.
Thanks!
