I am a native northern Californian, born in Oroville and educated
at U.O.P. in Stockton. However, I travelled widely as a child and young person,
living in Alaska, Colorado, Missouri, Germany, and again in San Francisco.
I consider myself a native of Santa Rosa, since I have lived here now for
twenty years, raised my children here, and buried my parents here.

Professional Areas of Interest
My doctoral work was on the British Romantic poets, especially on
William Wordsworth, and I continue to be personally and professionally interested in poetry of all kinds, but I am most engaged in teaching
composition at developmental, regular, and advanced levels.
