I have taught writing, rhetoric, and professional communication as a faculty member, graduate TA, and writing center tutor at an assortment of colleges and universities for almost thirty years. More recently, I have been teaching a dark academia literature course.

I have also served in administrative positions while co-authoring the award-winning first-year writing textbook Read, Reason, Write: An Argument Text and Reader published by McGraw-Hill Education.

Along the way, I co-authored Partners in Literacy: A Writing Center Model for Civic Engagement now published by Bloomsbury Academic and co-edited Commitment to Justice in Jesuit Higher Education published by Apprentice House Press. My work has also been featured in academic journals and edited collections.

My monograph, Rhetoric of the Middle Way in Isocrates, Queen Elizabeth I, and the Church of England, is now under contract with Bloomsbury Academic.

Outside the academy I have worked as a technical writer for the federal government and as an independent contractor. If you’re interested in learning more, visit my About page.

In 2024, I began writing fiction, which was as much of a surprise to me as it was to everyone else. But the story had to be told; it would not be silent.
