Prior to his coming to Eckerd College, he served as Assistant Director of the Center for China-United States Relations at the University of Denver, and taught at the University of Denver, Metropolitan State College of Denver, Renmin University of China, and a number of other Chinese universities. He has lived in China for four and a half years, variously teaching, studying Chinese, and doing research. His doctoral work was completed at the University of Denver's Graduate School of International Studies (now the Josef Korbel School of International Studies), his masters' work at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, and his bachelors' work at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota.

At Eckerd College he teaches the following undergraduate courses: "Introduction to Comparative Politics;" "East Asian Comparative Politics;" "East Asian International Relations;" "Political Science Research Methods;" "Government and Politics of China;" "Japan: Government, Politics, Foreign Policy;" "The Pacific Century" (or the Political Economy of East Asia and India), "The Struggle for Modern Tibet;" "International Relations Senior Comprehensive Exam;" "Western Heritage in a Global Context" (freshman core course), and "Quest for Meaning" (senior capstone course), as well as Winter-Term at the United Nations, and Semester in Asia.
