Currently, I am an Associate Professor of Sport Governance at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. I completed my Ph.D. at Loughborough University. My teaching and research expertise centers on examining international and Olympic sport governance, analyzing international and national sport policy, and evaluating corporate good governance in sport to embed sustainable improvement strategies.
