Dr. Maiden serves as the Director of the program leading to the B.A. degree in Gerontology. A Fellow of the Gerontological Society of America and a Diplomate-Fellow in psychopharmacology (certified by International College of Prescribing Psychologists), he maintains a part-time practice as a licensed clinical psychologist dealing with marriage, family and child issues, alcohol and substance abuse, and geriatric problems. He is an author of several journal articles and co-author of a book that deals with various aspects of the aging experience in rural settings.

Until a career-ending arm injury a couple of summers ago, he was a pretty fair shortstop/utility infielder on recreational baseball/softball teams. He has since taken up golf.
