Welcome to my web site. I hope you enjoy your visit.

WHAT’S NEW

• My textbook with Keith Roberts, Religion in Sociological Perspective, was published in 2011 by Sage/Pine Forge Press.
• I will be teaching Sport, Culture, and Society (i.e., Sociology of Sport) for the first time this summer and fall.
• I recently signed a contract with Oxford University Press to publish my book, Becoming Catholic: Finding Rome on the American Religious Landscape.
• Through my hobby-gone-mad (Big Time Tennis), I am looking forward to stringing at three major tournaments this summer: the NCAA Tournament in Athens, GA, Washington, DC’s ATP Legg Mason Tennis Classic, and the Winston-Salem Open.
