I earned my BA degree in American political and diplomatic history. Next, I completed a masters degree in American business and economic history. Finally, I completed three years of a doctoral program in American history, and then completed a doctorate in higher education administration/policy/management. During the Vietnam War I spent several years in the Army working as a plainclothes counterintelligence agent where I was stationed at the Pentagon during the 60's antiwar (and other) protest movements. In addition to having operated my own management consulting company, I have also held management positions in various businesses, and served as an adjunct professor for ten colleges. Finally, I have enjoyed memberships in four high IQ societies (Mensa, Triple Nine Society, International Society for Philosophical Inquiry, and Intertel).
