I have been a teacher of English Literature and Literacy for over a decade, serving in inner city schools, and presently remotely online.  Now, I’m a self-published author, having written a fantasy novel: Antiphon: Fire and Stone, a children’s book, The Legend of Tam Lin, and am working on a new non-fiction book about teaching English Language Arts in the world of Artificial Intelligence.

I earned my degree in English with a concentration in Creative Writing from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA where I currently reside with my wife and three children. I have long been passionate about language, linguistics, and literature–in other words, I’m all about the stories we tell, how we tell them, and why they’re so important. Storytelling (whether true or fiction) has been the mode by which humanity has shared its most important truths about themselves, Creation, and the Divine. So if you ever ask yourself “why is my English class important?” That’ll be why. It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in metaphysics, video games, mathematics, carpentry, welding, or professional wrestling. Everything hinges on the telling of the story.
