Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

RTI Call for Presentations

I received the following call for presentations from the Recreation Therapists of Indiana. This year's Annual Conference is in Carmel, just north of Indianapolis -- so here is hoping that some RTs from Cincinnati and Dayton submit presentations because it is a relatively short drive over to Indy.
