His Op-Eds have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, Miami Herald, and Los Angeles Daily News, and he is a frequent guest on radio and television interview shows. An attorney with extensive litigation experience in labor and employment, contracts, and real estate, Mr. Bowden taught at the University of Baltimore School of Law from 1988 to 1994.
