Lecturer

I am an instructor of English, Head Editor at Deeds Publishing of Athens, GA, and am completing a PhD in Comparative Literature at UGA. The subject of my dissertation is the 20th century French poet, novelist, and essayist Blaise Cendrars. I have worked as a professional editor for about 20 years, including a lengthy stint at The Georgia Review, UGA's nationally-recognized journal of arts and letters.

I have lived in Athens since 1994. I am married to UGA English Department Senior Lecturer Mary Anne O'Neal. We have three children, two in high school and one in middle school.

My favorite authors (other than Blaise Cendrars, who will always come first) include Thomas Pynchon, William Faulkner, Rebecca Solnit, Rebecca West, Luc Sante, James Joyce, Flannery O'Connor, Henry Miller, Jack Kerouac, Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Albert Goldbarth, and many, many others. It's a constantly evolving list, and I hope to keep it that way. 

I love sports, music, travel, and food. In the summer of 2018 my family and I will be taking an epic trip to Europe!
