Here on my home page you will discover a little about me and what I do at Stetson. First off, the handsome dude above is an American anhinga, a bird of the swamp who is as comfortable swimming as flying. Click the picture to hear what he has to say when you disturb his wing-drying ritual. If you'd like, you can read about birding and my other interests and hobbies or look at my professional vitae. Also see student FAQs.

My title is "professor." That means that among the faculty at Stetson I hold the top rank, having been promoted from assistant professor, to associate professor, to full professor. My duties include teaching, research, and university service, the most important being teaching. Fortunately, teaching is what I most like to do. I think that the verb "to teach" is often misunderstood. If you're interested, I have a bit to say about teaching and learning.

This semester I'm teaching three different courses. Information about current and recent ones is below. I've included all course information, plus more general musings.
