During the past 16 years, my research activities have focused on collecting and examining data that contribute to the building of the infrastructure and body of knowledge of recreational sport management, as well as envisioning the future for the profession. My work focuses on four major research areas: computer utilization, personnel management, recreational sport programming, and the area of teaching, learning, and technology.
