I am currently an Assistant Professor at Babson College, teaching organizational behavior courses to undergraduates and MBA students. I obtained my Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering (with a concentration in organizational studies) in June 2000 from Stanford University.

My research focuses primarily on newcomers. I explore the challenges of getting newcomers up to speed quickly, and the individual and group process revolving around newcomer orientation, training and socialization. I also study social networks and how the web of information flows affects worker productivity and satisfaction. My latest research on rapid on-boarding (co-authored with Sal Parise and Rob Cross) was published in the Winter 2005 issue of Sloan Management Review. Recently I was awarded the 2005 New Educator Award from the Organizational Behavior Teaching Society.

Besides school, I enjoy running, biking, and bluegrass music. I'm currently the newsletter editor and website manager for the Boston Bluegrass Union, New England's premier source for bluegrass concerts, festivals, and information. I live in Millis, MA with my wife Kathy Harris and our four cats.
