Like the logo says, I'm a writer and a teacher (see the sidebars for more info). It also says I'm a “man with a mission.” My mission? To use my gifts to show what a life-giving relationship with God looks like and to help others experience that relationship, too.
For those of you looking to learn more about me (surely you have something better to do!), I've got a professional blurb on the English Department site, or a more spiritually-oriented narrative with my blog.
I've been writing since I was home for two weeks with the German measles in second grade. In the 30+ years since, my interests have changed (I no longer write about dinosaurs with measles), but my desire to write is as strong as ever. Charis, my blog, considers the challenge of living out faith consistently. Here's a sample:
I teach English at the University of Alabama at Birmingham; I also serve as the department's webmaster. This semester I am teaching two sections of EH101 Composition (taught totally online), and two sections of EH223: American Literature to the Civil War.
