Biography

Schauer received his doctor of science (Sc. D.) degree from Johns Hopkins University and is a diplomate of the American Board of Health Physics. He received M.S. and B.S. degrees from Georgetown and Liberty Universities, respectively. Prior to being elected NCRP secretary and treasurer, and appointed Executive Director, Dr. Schauer served in various scientific and leadership positions as an officer in the U.S. Navy (1984 to 2004). His primary research interests include thermoluminescent dosimetry and electron paramagnetic resonance biodosimetry. He is a member of numerous organizations including the American Society of Association Executives, the American College of Radiology, and the Health Physics Society.

Schauer has published a number of scientific articles, proceedings and reports individually and in collaboration with fellow scientists and students. He also contributed a book chapter to the "Handbook of Radioactivity Analysis" published by Elsevier Academic Press (2003).

Personal life

Schauer and his wife, Krista, an architect, live in Washington, DC with their three sons, Adam, Zachary and Luke. They are active in their community teaching Sunday school and coaching Little League baseball.

Early years

Schauer’s formal education began in 1965 with the creation of President Johnson’s Head Start Program. This was part of Johnson’s War on Poverty. As one of five children being raised in a single-parent home, Schauer was sent to the newly established Head Start Program in Williamstown, NJ. So began Schauer’s formal education which would include a stop in a two room schoolhouse for kindergarten (Hall Street) and culminate at Hopkins with the awarding of his doctorate in 1994.

College years and beyond

Following graduation from Williamstown High School (1979) where he was named scholar athlete, Schauer was recruited to pitch at Liberty University. Schauer was used mostly as a starter and set the single game record for strikeouts until a hard-throwing lefthander (Randy Tomlin – Pittsburgh Pirates and pitching coach for the AA Harrisburg Nats) arrived a few years later and established a new mark. During his years at Liberty, Schauer was coached by former major league pitcher, Al Worthington, and played with some great athletes and teammates including Sid Bream, Lee Guetterman and Darrell Manuel (youngest brother of Phillies manager, Charlie Manuel). The Liberty baseball teams of the early 1980s made three successive trips to the NAIA college world series in Lubbock, TX.

Following graduation from Liberty in 1983, Schauer was commissioned as an ensign in the US Navy Medical Service Corps. Ensign Schauer worked his way up the ranks before retiring at the beginning of 2004 as a Commander. During those 20 years, Schauer served in various leadership positions in San Diego, CA, Portsmouth, NH and Bethesda, MD.
