Welcome to my strand of the Web! As I hope this site demonstrates, my professions, and my professional interests, range widely but focus ultimately on online and offline applications of reading, writing, and education.

I am a freelance Web developer. I focus primarily on designing and maintaining sites for authors, schools, and non-profit organizations that focus on reading and literacy. My strength lies in coherently and attractively presenting large amounts of information on the Web.

I am an adjunct professor of English at two University of Richmond campuses:

• The School of Continuing Studies in Richmond, Virginia
• The Northern Virginia Campus of Public Safety University

I am president of the National Conference of Governor's Schools and former director of the Governor's School for Humanities and Visual & Performing Arts at the University of Richmond

My professional life began as a secondary English teacher and yearbook staff adviser at Oscar Smith High School in Chesapeake, Virginia.

I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Richmond in 1992 with a B.A. in English. I graduated again from the University of Richmond in 1998 with an M.A. in English.

I am eager to use the Web as a means to supplement educational efforts and improve communication throughout the online and offline community.
