He worked for 31 years for two Michigan public health departments, primarily inspecting restaurants and swimming pools but also working in environmental health education. His education includes an A.B in Secondary School Education., a B.S.in Environmental Health and an M.P.H. in Health Education.
It was during his graduate studies that he became interested in alternative explanations for environmental noncompliance, why people do not accept the sanitarian's inspection results, in spite of legal enforcement. The inspection system in use appeared to resort too quickly to the use of enforcement measures when some clients seemed amenable to education and persuasion. Health behavior concepts and models supported the need for a new appraoch . From this interest evolved this article about a new system for conducting environmental assessments, a new explanation for noncompliance. David currently works as an environmental consultant and lives in south-eastern Michigan.view less
