ABOUT ME

I work for Austin Peay State University, helping develop service learning programs. I'm also a volunteer firefighter/medic, so if you stay with me you might have to put up with me rolling out of bed to put out fires!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was seven, my family's car broke down on a seven-week cross-country road trip, in the middle of Southern California's desert. We hiked to the nearest civilization for help on the advice of another hiker. He forgot to mention it was a nudist colony.
