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.

Travel and adventure, reading, collecting vintage books, playing the piano and saxophone

I have traveled to 33 countries on four continents and have seen six of the seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

I was a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in 2010. Yes, I won some cash!

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.
