I am a professor of Political Science, although I will be retiring this year. My specialties are global politics and comparative politics. I love learning about and experiencing other cultures. I have traveled extensively in Europe, both for research purposes and personal enjoyment. I am a huge fan of both music and cinema. My favorite music leans toward punk and a bit of classic rock. Favorite movie genre is science fiction, but I will watch most anything. I am a huge fan of Godzilla movies.
