Professional and Personal Interests

Dr. Seibert's professional training, industry experience (with
three Fortune 500 firms), and research experience all involve
the human dimension of business. His most extensive work has
been in the area of employee and management training and development,
stemming from an interest in helping people realize their full
potential at work. His current emphasis is on the integration
of faith and work in a business context. This includes consideration
of systemic marketplace issues such as stewardship, service,
justice, and job design as well as individual issues of calling
and of how people express their faith with integrity at work.
At present he is studying Nantucket Quakers of the 18th century
whaling industry and recent college graduates' experience integrating
their faith in a business career. Dr. Seibert's passion is to
help people in the marketplace develop and utilize their God-given
abilities in the service of others.
Dr. Seibert is married and has two young girls. His wife, Donna,
(also Dr. Seibert, M.D.) currently works as a full-time homemaker
and home school teacher. They are active in their church and
work together as a family in community ministries. For fun they
enjoy board games, nature walks, day trips to Chicago, visiting
out-of-state family, and time at the beach (especially if it's
in New England).
