Welcome. If you're interested in research and writing (or hiring a researcher/writer), tennis, running, obstacle races, photography, sex education, digital text communication, skydiving, or Buster the Cat, you're in the right place. I'm an assistant professor of communication at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and a freelance writer. In Spring 2012, I'm teaching Technology and Modern Civilization (HU 335) and Technical Writing (Com 221HYB). Both of these courses have blogs. Com 221HYB is here and HU 335 is here. I've also taught Visual Design, Web Design, Environmental Communication, and English Literature and Composition. As a freelance writer, I have covered issues such as digital text communication, medicine, radiology, sex education, financial services technologies, Web development, internal auditing, commercial real estate, banking, and legal issues.
I have a PhD in Texts and Technology, MA in Creative Writing, and BA in Liberal Studies from the University of Central Florida. My dissertation, Green Chairs, Fictional Phalluses, Infiltration, and Love on the Rocks: Medical Imaging Artifacts Blown Up, explores the artifacts created by medical imaging technologies and is under contract for publication. I really like tennis, and I've adopted a new running addiction. If you're one Tough Mudder and want to run or play tennis, please let me know. businessI'm developing the concept for Dark Suburbia, in order to untether me from the bonds of financial servitude by exploiting and reflecting on the angst of the millions of suburban dwellers drenched in hot showers, chilled Chardonnays, and the shadow of 2.5 expelled placentas, living out the American Dream in the quiet desperation of petrol-laced days where all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds. (my own words posted elsewhere) But, it's a secret. Don't tell anyone. fictional stuff
My MA thesis is a novella entitled Foodworld, published and available for an exorbitant price on Amazon.com. The story addresses fate versus freewill and how people use technology and religion in similar ways to insulate themselves. The underlying problem is an electricity shortage that correlates with the internal power struggles faced by the characters in their quest for meaning and fulfillment.
