Biography

I have taught face-to-face, blended and online Composition and Technical Writing classes at SPC for 25 years first on the Gibbs and recently on the Seminole Campus.  I recently retired after 23 years from Honeywell Inc., where I was a Senior Technical Writer/Editor and Project Office Manager.  I earned BS and MS degrees from Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, and I am an Air Force veteran who served in Vietnam.

I have always loved sports, especially basketball and football, and I coached both of these sports in high school in Alabama before moving to Florida in 1979.  My favorite teams are the Auburn Tigers - WAR EAGLE! - and the Bucs.  Have been a Bucs season ticket holder for more than 20 years.

Having been in the "real" world of technical, business, and professional writing, I try to prepare students to write effectively within whatever careers they choose.  I enoy teaching both Composition I and II , as well as Technical Writing, and look forward to continuing to work for SPC, which I believe provides students a top quality education at a very reasonable cost.
