He began his tertiary studies at North Idaho College, where he earned both an Associate of Arts and an Associate of Science degree. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in history with a minor in politics from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. Mr. Campbell subsequently managed a restaurant for a year before coming to Germany as part of the Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange Program for Young Professionals. During this one-year exchange, he worked on improving his German language skills at the Carl Duisburg Center in Cologne before moving on to study history and German for a semester at Universität Leipzig. In the last phase, he interned at in international language school. Upon completion of the exchange program, he stayed in Leipzig to work as a TEFL teacher in adult education.


After working in this area for several years, he attained a second Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Education degree in British and American studies and history with a specialization for teaching at the Gymnasium/Gesamtschule level at Bielefeld University. He subsequently completed his teacher training (Referendariat) and second state teaching exam at a secondary school (Gymnasium) in Minden. Before coming to University Münster in October 2020, he spent some time teaching at the renowned experimental school Oberstufen-Kolleg an der Universität Bielefeld and taught a few courses in English language education as adjunct staff at Bielefeld University.


Mr. Campbell is currently working on his PhD in the area of diversity/inclusive teaching in the EFL context. He is also a member of the team working on the Teilprojekt in der Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung an der WWU Basiscurriculum Heterogenität [de].
