I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and International Affairs at the University of North Georgia (UNG), The Military College of Georgia. UNG is one of six senior military colleges in the United States, offering a unique environment for developing future leaders in both civilian and military spheres.

In my teaching, I focus on fostering a deep understanding of international relations and comparative politics. I strive to create an engaging learning environment that encourages critical thinking and active participation. My courses cover a range of topics, including international organizations, secessionist movements, and terrorism, equipping students with the analytical tools they need to navigate complex global issues.

My current projects span several areas. I am developing a textbook chapter focused on terrorism and strategic security, examining key frameworks to understand how modern terrorism has developed and how it is changing in the 21st century. Additionally, I am expanding my research on secessionist movements, with a specific focus on Northern Ireland. 

This website provides an overview of my classes, research, and ongoing data collection projects. I am always eager to engage with students and colleagues who share an interest in these complex and evolving fields.
