After I obtained my J.D. from Northeastern in 1993, I spent 22 years as a state and federal public defender in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. I started teaching full-time at UNH in 2015, where I had previously been an adjunct professor for approximately a decade. I direct the Criminal Practice Clinic. I also teach Evidence and Criminal Procedure. (Before attending law school, I obtained a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Maryland. My area of research was granular superconductivity.)
