You have entered Cosmic Scribbler. I'm a freelance writer and have covered issues such as digital technology, medicine including radiology and oncology, sex education, financial services technology, Web development, auditing, commercial real estate, banking, and legal issues.  I'm also an Assistant Professor of Communication at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. 

In the Fall 2008 semester, I'm teaching Visual Design, as well as Technical Writing. In the past, I've taught Environmental Communication, Web Design, and English Literature and Composition, in addition to Studies in Literature and Technical Writing for ERAU's online Worldwide Campus.

I have a PhD in Texts and Technology and an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Central Florida. My dissertation is a rhetorical study that explores the artifacts created by medical imaging technologies, using methodologies adapted from surrealists, semiologists, and visual artists - particularly Barthes and Brecht - with a focus on fragmentation of texts. Click here for a longer explanation, and click here to read the introduction and first chapter. It was defended and approved on May 7, 2008.

Not long ago, I wrote a screenplay called Revelations in Plastic, which I would like to see on the silver screen.  If you or anyone you know has ties to the entertainment industry, contact me immediately.  In the event that you start a chain of events leading to my screenplay being purchased for a large, non-refundable figure, I would be grateful.

I currently serve on the Volusia County School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) and the Daytona Beach International Festival (DBIF365) marketing committee.

Moving along, below are a few visual and textual expressions of my academic-ish research and work in UCF's T&T program--the good, bad, and the ugly:

I have self-published a booklet about artificial food coloring and children's behavior, in an effort to change school policies about food in the classrooms and lunchrooms. If you would like a copy of the booklet, Chemical Colors, Brain Food & Children's Health, please contact me.
