I've been a professional educator and writer all of my adult life. My first job out of graduate school (Doctor of Arts-Writing) was as an assistant professor of rhetoric at America's oldest remaining college for men. After five years there, I landed at another small liberal arts college, where I served as an associate professor of English and journalism.

Editor
Then the magazine world called: I first served as a managing editor and then as executive editor at a publishing company that specializes in health and active-lifestyle magazines. Combining education and professional editing, I also served as my publishing company's in-house editorial trainer of magazine designers and editors.

Books and Boys
Today, in addition to being the executive editor at a book publishing company in Georgia, I'm also the proud father of a sixteen-year-old boy and the ever-grateful husband of a woman with the patience of Job.
