Brad has been facilitating learning in the physics classroom for 14 years and is currently Teaching Faculty at Plymouth State University. While earning a Ph.D. in physics at the University of Connecticut, he discovered and was captivated by the findings of Physics Education Research and completed coursework for a Graduate Certificate in College Instruction. He dove into full time education at the University of New England, teaching introductory physics in a small Studio setting with Modeling Instruction. Discovering that his students were primarily life science majors, Brad then adopted the Introductory Physics for Life Sciences curricula, inspired by the duel goal of using research-based instructional methods and applying physics content to his students’ career interests. After short teaching stints at Deerfield Academy and Hamilton College, he’s settled at Plymouth State to teach physics and astronomy. He provides a light-hearted and fun classroom, with the hope that all students can find motivation, success, and enjoyment in physics. Since 2020, Brad hosts the education podcast Physics Alive. He lives in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire with his wife and son, and he enjoys every opportunity to climb the White Mountains.
