ABOUT US

Tom Mowle

Since 2011, Rampart has helped over a thousand students and faculty members on every continent except Antarctica. Those clients have been working and studying in fields as diverse as education, political science, organizational leadership, and environmental studies. Although Rampart can call upon associates for big projects with advance notice, Tom Mowle has been doing almost all the editing and coaching since the passing of the company’s cofounder in 2019.

Rampart’s cofounders started the company after they moved into nonacademic careers. In Tom’s case, that was being appointed by the Colorado governor to lead a countywide office. He wanted to continue doing the part of academics he liked best: helping others shape and complete their research projects. This has proved even more rewarding than he had hoped!

Tom, a retired Air Force officer, lives in Colorado Springs (Mountain Time Zone). He earned his PhD in Political Science with a focus on political psychology from The Ohio State University in 1996. Tom has taught undergraduate cadets at the Air Force Academy and in the graduate program at Saint Mary’s University, San Antonio. That teaching experience includes research design and methods for social science.

Tom has published three books (Allies at Odds, Hope is Not a Plan, and The Unipolar World), and many chapters and articles in academic journals. A fourth manuscript, a first-person history of his time as a strategist in Iraq in fall 2004, is currently under publication review. Tom has conducted other research sponsored by the Department of Defense and presented at numerous national conferences. He posts from time to time on his Substack, From the Ramparts, and spends his weekends hiking and exploring in the nearby mountains.
