After three semesters as a part time instructor in the Communications Department, I began teaching The Writing Process (ENG 103) and Oral Communication (COM 109) full-time in 1992.  I have directed five University theatre productions and a Bush Grant (six years).  Currently I teach accross the English curriculum.

Servant Leadership:
That leadership which exists to serve the greater good of persons in individual courses, major programs, institutions, communities, and radiating outward into all of one’s areas of contact without undue and ultimate self-interest is servant leadership. This type of leadership is possible, therefore, for all students, faculty, staff, administrators – indeed for all humankind.
