While at UMD, he earned several academic honors, completed the University Honors and Gemstone Research Programs and was a highly ranked national debater for the American Parliamentary Debate Association. Following graduation, Mr. Cleveland worked as a child psychology and sociology researcher for a non-profit organization in Washington, D.C. His research, which was aimed at informing key federal policymakers on how to improve the lives of children and youth, was published in various peer-reviewed journals and appeared in several government reports.
