Biography

My academic home has been UNO since 1988!In 1993, at UNO, I earned a BA in Dramatic Arts (theater, before theatre was cool!) In 2014 I made the decision to change my major from Theater to English, and I returned home to UNO and earned a Master's Degree and a TESOL certificate.In the fall of 2019, I achieved my career goal of working as a full-time faculty when I was hired as an Instructor in the College of Information Science & Technology. I never dreamed, as a Humanities guy my entire life, that I would be working in a STEM college! The College of IS&T is interdisciplinary, and I am proud to be part of the college. I teach Advanced Composition for IS&T, and I also teach CIST 3110, IT Ethics
