SJDM Presidential campaign platform:
If elected to the presidency of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making, I promise a tofurkey in every pot and a p-value for every statistical test.
I will do my best to exercise good judgment and make wise
decisions that contribute to the reputation of the Society and the life
satisfaction of all its members. And I will answer at least 80% of
emails within 24 hours or less.
More self-aggrandizement:
I
was born in
1970 to
two outstanding parents, Lillian and Richard Moore, in Minnesota.
I went to Second
Foundation, a free school in Minneapolis.
During 1980, my family lived in Berlin, Germany for 6
months and I attended the John
F. Kennedy School. In 1982 we moved from St. Paul to Johannesburg, South
Africa. We lived there for 5 years and I attended the American
International School of Johannesburg. In 1987 we moved to Pocatello, Idaho where I
completed the last two years of high school.
I
graduated from high school in 1989 and went to Carleton
College. I majored in Psychology and got
a concentration in Natural
History. Upon graduation, I went to work for McMaster-Carr
Supply Company in Elmhurst, Illinois,
doing dreadfully dull work for which I was generously compensated. In
July 1995 I left McMaster-Carr to work as a research assistant to Max Bazerman in the Organization
Behavior Department at
the Kellogg
Graduate School of Management at Northwestern
University in Evanston, Illinois. There
I did fascinating work for which I was paid a pittance. It was much
better. In the Fall of 1996
I started in the Ph.D. program in Organization Behavior at Kellogg.
I
married the stunningly beautiful and highly talented Sarah Miller in 1999. In
2000, I began as an Assistant Professor at Carnegie
Mellon University. In 2002,
my first son Josh was
born. I
visited the Australian
Graduate School of Management at the University of New South Wales in Sydney for the
first three months of 2003 and again for the first three months of
2007. In 2005, my second son Anderson was
born. I got tenure at CMU in 2008. In the 2008-2009 academic
year I was a visitor at the Haas
School at
the University
of California at Berkeley.
In
2010 we returned to California where I accepted a job in the Management
of Organizations group (MORS)
at the Haas School.
I
have a double-jointed thumb on my left hand and I can do calligraphy.
