After many years as a Visiting Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, I became a Project Scientist for a few years. My current title is “Academic Affiliate, Psychological & Brain Sciences, UCSB.”  I guess no one should still get to call themselves a “visitor” after well over a decade. I came to UCSB in the summer of 2000 for what was supposed to be a one-year sabbatical, and never left.

I am a 60-something year old. I’m single, always have been, always will be. Using a term I coined, I’m “single at heart.” Single is how I live my best, most authentic, most meaningful life.

My true passion is for the practice and study of single life. For many years, before I turned to the study of single life, my expertise was in the psychology of deceiving and detecting deceit. I also write about how we live now.
