I am a graduate  The University of Washington's  M.F.A. program in creative writing, where I also currently teach composition.  I received an M.A. in English Literature from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ in Winter 2003 and a B.A. in English/Art from Wheaton College in 2000. Currently, I am blessed to live in Seattle, Washington. You can read my full Cirriculum Vitae (coming soon).

If the minstrels are to be believed, I was born at the dawning of the age of Aquarius, and, conveniently, am one.  There's a picture here.

 

I've just completed a book manuscript, entitled "The Difference Engine," some samples of which are listed below.

I am currently teaching in the Expository Writing Program and the University of Washington, while reading for Ph.D. exams.  Link to my course websites.

In 2005, I was a post-graduate fellow at the University of Washington's Rome Center.

  In 2003-2004, I taught in the English Department at Northern Arizona University. I have a web page for courses I teach at NAU. 

   

My primary scholarly interests include

Poetry Writing and Criticism 

British Romanticism

Modernist American Poetry

though in practice, they are much broader, amateurish even.  I care deeply about city-planning, German post-expressionism, Abstraction and the New York School of Painting, Architecture, England, Public Transit, Contemporary and Historical Theology, and Photography.

Yoga    

For two years, I taught beginning through advanced Yoga in a blend of Hatha and Ashtanga styles at Northern Arizona University and, briefly, and the University of Washington.  I am certified through YogaFit, and recieved most of my training from Devorah Spadone.
