About

I spent my career as an economics professor and administrator at universities in New York, Texas, Florida and the United Arab Emirates.  Since some part-time consulting in 2013-14 in Qatar, I have been retired with my spouse in Hilton Head’s naturally spectacular Moss Creek community.  My current passions are public policy, music, tennis, grandkids, community service (I currently serve on the Moss Creek Board of Directors), the Nebraska Cornhuskers and now blog writing, not necessarily in that order.  While I will always attempt in my blog writing to be objective and evidence-grounded, it will probably become apparent that I am what is typically today called Progressive, a status that seems quickly to be coming back into favor.
