Tom comes to Iowa by way of Arkansas and Oklahoma--that’s where he did his MA and Ph.D. work respectively, both in organizational communication. Tom is interested in corporate social responsibility, organizational culture and identity, and leadership and team-building. He has examined NGO politics and insurgency, in particular studying the institutional structures and change processes of NGO influence.
His most recent article titled "Cultural analysis of corporate social action" was published in Business and Society Review in late 2018. He also travels regularly to Europe (Germany, the UK, and Belgium) to teach courses on intercultural, international, and political communication for US service people and NATO through Advanced Programs.

Tom directed the graduate program from 2011-2018, and co-authored a departmental graduate-level textbook about research methods. Currently he helps the department as Associate Department Head.
