Biography
I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, where I received my BA from Samford University. I earned my MA and PhD from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. I have served on the faculty at Jamestown College/ĄÖ²„“«Ć½app for over thirty years.
My Favorite Course to Teach
I enjoy teaching any course with poetry in it, and English Literature since 1785 covers three eras of it. If I had to choose a favorite course, I suppose it would be this one.
