• About me: During my own journey as a college student, I attended four universities and a community college, ultimately graduating with my Bachelor's of Science in Secondary Education (English/Speech) from Minnesota State University. I continued my education at the same institution, where I earned an MFA in Creative Writing with an emphasis in YA Fiction.

  From my time in a pre-school during college to teaching at four universities, I have been lucky to work with students ranging in ages from 3 to 78, and they tend to have more in common than they have differences.  In addition to running The Write Spot at South Central College, I currently teach various English classes and Academic/Professional Success courses at two online universities. But my real work begins when I’m “off the clock” as I am the blessed father of two boys, ages 6 and 10.

  I am originally from Washington State and still envision my home surrounded by towering cedar trees, somewhere between the Cascade mountains and the Pacific Ocean.

  What I love about SCC: I am energized by hearing students’ stories and knowing that SCC offers them unique opportunities to share their lives with the faculty and staff.

  Interests/Things to chat with me about: Parenthood, education, self-improvement, meditation, forests, mountains, lakes, rivers, and roads not taken.
