I currently teach and do research in information
design as an assistant professor of composition at the University of Minnesota
Duluth. My wife
and I moved to Duluth in July of 2001 from San José, California
where, for two years,
I was the Associate Director of San José State
University's eCampus. From 1992 to 1999, I taught at American
literature, creative writing and electronic composition at Kansas
State University, where I also served as Director of Computers, Literature
and Rhetoric. I earned my Ph.D. in American literature and rhetoric from Florida
State University in 1994, where I also edited the literary magazine
Sundog:
The Southeast Review. My doctoral dissertation examined prefaces
to nineteenth-century novels to explain how authors rhetorically constructed
images of their readers and of themselves. I have a Master's degree in
creative writing (fiction) from Florida State University. My master's
thesis, The Great Indoors, is a collection of short stories set
among people who worked in shopping malls during the 1980s. Several of
these stories have been published in California Quarterly, The
William and Mary Review, and anthologized in a collection by Snake
Nation Press. I earned my B.A. in English (creative writing) in 1979
from the University of Florida in Gainesville.
My current research focuses on questions of identity, authority and
culture in electronic environments. My wife and I are delighted to be
here in
Duluth--despite the short growing season--with our two cats, Dinah and
Roane.
