I'm your instructor. Most students call me Mike; some students call me Dr. Rousell or Professor Rousell, but I prefer Mike. My hockey buddies call me Doc.
A little about me. This I celebrated 40 years of marriage to Laura. We have two daughters and four granddaughters.
I graduated with my doctorate from the University of Oregon in 1991. I spent the next 19 years studying life changing moments. That work eventually culminated in my award winning book “Sudden Influence: Spontaneous Events That Shape Our Lives,” Praegar Press, 2007.
I lived much of my life in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada working as a teacher, instructor, and psychologist. I taught at SOU (SOSC at the time) in the early nineties. My teaching experience spans the entire spectrum: elementary, junior high, high school, undergraduate, and graduate education. My broad counseling experience includes adolescent counseling, family and marriage therapy, addictions, and forensics.
I run, play hockey, coached volleyball for 25 years, and my study interests include neuroscience, emotions, and evolutionary psychology.
