His involvement in the nation’s employment and training system goes back to the 1980s, when he was the head of the Dislocated Worker Program for the State of Ohio. He worked as a Legislative Director for a Member of Congress when the Workforce Investment Act was passed in 1998. He has a Master’s degree in communication from Georgetown University and a PhD in Sociology from Lancaster University, UK.
