Welcome / About 

I am a native Washingtonian who began work as a Teamster and Longshoreman in Bellingham and Seattle. After earning the PhD far away, I am grateful to be home.

Grateful also to love the teaching, the students that make the job rewarding, and the support for public writing and research.

As a writer, I am interested in the interdisciplinary environmental humanities, and particularly in how creative writing and culture studies can nourish one another.
