His educational background includes a Ph.D. in Biological Anthropology from the State University of New York at Albany (2001) and a B.A. in Anthropology from Purdue University (1993). His dissertation examined inmate life in the Onieda County Asylum through skeletal and documentary analysis.

He employs osteobiography to reconstruct individual life experiences within 19th century asylums, almshouses, and pioneer communities, with particular emphasis on syphilis, multiple myeloma, and dental health as markers of socioeconomic status and care quality. His methodology integrates skeletal analysis with historical records to expose systemic biases in institutional care. His publications reveal consistent focus on how social stigma shaped medical treatment for disabled and mentally ill populations.
