I'm currently a sessional psychology instructor at the Red Deer Polytechnic. My research is in social psychology and meta-science (for my scholarly contributions, see my publication list or my Google Scholar profile).

In the area of meta-science, I study the credibility of scientific research in relation to transparency and replication (see CurateScience.org). As a trail-blazing meta-scientist, I helped raise transparency and replication standards in various ways:

• helped transform psychology's replication culture by being a "prolific replicator"
• led the PsychDisclosure.org initiative, which raised transparency standards at Psychological Science (a leading journal in psychology), and
• maintained a replication tracker.

In the area of social psychology, I investigate the nature of attitudes, attitude change, and racial biases/stereotypes informed by a new person-centered meta-theoretic framework. I also previously investigated units of measurement and methodological issues in psychology research.

I am also a musician, playing music as a daily spiritual practice (generally cover songs, see BrainTicklerBand.com). I've also developed JamBox, a voice-driven music app that let's musicians play their favorite cover songs with the fewest possible device disruptions.

I am also the proud father of two sons (1 and 5).
