Why teach at AU?
The small class sizes mean I get to know each of my students individually and that our conversations about course material and their educational experience often continue outside the classroom. My experience as an undergraduate at a Baptist institution, Baylor, was tremendously influential on my decision to teach at another Baptist university. The education I received was intellectually rigorous but the environment was supportive, and I hope I am successful in fostering a similar environment in my own classrooms.
Hobbies
Travel and adventure, reading, collecting vintage books, playing the piano and saxophone
Notable achievements outside of discipline
I have traveled to 33 countries on four continents and have seen six of the seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

How would you describe your classes to someone who has never attended one?
My intro-level classes are lecture-based, although I like to keep a dialogue going with the students by asking questions throughout. Upper-level classes are more focused and involve significant amounts of discussion and debate. I especially enjoy organizing field trips when possible, to visit major museums and sites in the Greenville area and in Atlanta.
