ABOUT

I have spent most of my life in academia. After completing my Master's, I started teaching, first adjunct and now full-time, and then I decided to go back for my doctorate. I now serve as the head of my department, though I contemplate stepping down on a weekly basis. Whatever its faults, the job does allow me time for travel, which is the main reason I am still at it.

Besides teaching and traveling, I have published two collections of poetry, In a Strange Land and Pagan Blues, with two more in the works. Songs I have written have appeared on a few albums over the years, though, for the sake of humanity, I have always let other people sing. Photos of mine have appeared on the covers of three books, including a textbook--who knew?

Future travel plans are always in flux, so stay tuned.
