He serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy at the University of Florida, where he teaches graduate courses on topics such as organizational leadership, technology leadership, and qualitative research methods. His scholarship examines the changing education ecosystem from the standpoint of decentralization, involving the growing role of agencies and nonprofits working in schools, the relationship between public schooling and private capital, and how all of this may intersect in a rapidly evolving digital world. His current research explores how these changes, including implementation of AI, may impact organizational behavior and leadership roles.
