About Good-Natured Statistics

Good-Natured Statistics was built on the belief that data should clarify — not intimidate.

With over a decade of consulting experience and another dozen years as a professor and dean of statistics and research, I bring both analytical rigor and real-world mentoring to every project.

Whether you are preparing a dissertation, publishing research, or making data-driven decisions, I ensure your results are accurate, defensible, and clearly communicated.

Statistical Consulting That Makes Complex Data Understandable

Statistics should clarify your research — not intimidate you.

At Good-Natured Statistics, I specialize in both quantitative and qualitative data analysis, helping graduate students, researchers, nonprofits, and professionals move confidently from raw data to defensible conclusions.

Whether you are designing a study, analyzing results, or preparing for publication or defense, I provide clear guidance at every step.

Statistics are the sharks of the mathematical seas.

Myself and my trusty school of dolphins can help.

Good-Natured Statistics is both a company and a lifestyle. I study dolphins and analyze my own data regularly. I also provide discreet, friendly data analysis and statistics support for people like you who could use a hand with their data. Whatever your topic, we will work together to turn a confusing database into clear answers and practical decisions.
