His work focuses on how public schools and communities adapt to educational and policy challenges, particularly in rural settings. He investigates the intersection of demographics, policy implementation, and fiscal stress in K-12 education, with a strong emphasis on equity, data-driven decision-making, and school-based health centers.

His research spans four key areas: (1) demographic shifts and policy responses in rural communities across U.S., Ireland, and Scotland; (2) K-12 education’s $600 billion impact on community well-being; (3) early childhood education policy; and (4) school-based health clinics. He has secured over $1.68 million in grants, including NIH funding for rural health disparities and USDA projects on fiscal stress and shared services.
