I have an MA in English from Oxford University and a PhD in English from Emory University, with a specialty in eighteenth-century British literature. I've taught at Oglethorpe University, Coastal Carolina University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Wake Forest University, and Iowa State University.
Since I left teaching and crossed over to the Dark Side of administration, I've been doing less academic work and more freelance music reviewing/arts commentary, especially for the non-profit Arts Fuse website. I recommend you check out the excellent independent arts criticism being done at the Arts Fuse, and if you can help them out with a donation, bless your heart.
If you're interested in hiring me for liner notes, articles, reviews, or assorted arts-related writing projects, I'd be interested in hearing from you.
I'm the proud administrator of two thriving online groups: the Mastodon instance for jazz people, Jazztodon.com, and the Miles Davis Discussion Group on Facebook. Come join the conversation! (All I do on The Social Network Formerly Known As Twitter is try to persuade people to come to Mastodon.)
I also have close to a thousand records for sale, most of them 45s of all genres, on Discogs.
