I grew up on a farm near Chittenango, New York the son of German immigrants. I graduated from Fayetteville High School and worked on the family farm for a few years prior to receiving a scholarship from a Syracuse industrialist to go on to college. After receiving an A.B. degree from Syracuse University, I represented Syracuse University as a lecturer at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand for two years. I then went on to study theology at Boston University where I received an S.T.B. degree. While serving as a Methodist minister in Syracuse, New York, I began my graduate studies in international politics in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs part time. After completing my doctorate in political science I then taught at Slippery Rock University (one of fourteen state-owned universities in Pennsylvania) I am currently a professor emeritus of international politics from Slippery Rock University. |
