DAN IN-DEPTH

My name is Dr. Stephen Daniel Mings MA, MSCRP, PHD. I taught European and American history as well as physical and cultural world geography for 47 years at the University of Texas at Austin and Austin Community College. As a transportation planner at the Texas DOT until my retirement in 2001, I made traffic forecasts across Texas for the Highway Commission and was the first project director for a national congestion study ranking American cities. In addition to my speaking experience at UT and ACC, I’ve spoken at history and transportation conferences since 1970. I’ve also lectured on Holland American Line cruise ships since 2012. I have a variety of interests and expertise, including history, geography, game design, and poetry.
