creativity is a virtue

i love creating but perhaps more than anything i am a teacher. everything i create for public consumption is aimed at learning and thinking…

social media

i have created a variety of video and image work to share online including learning resources for english-language learners and explorations of morals and ethics for those who are liberally-curious. i have also worked with various teaching platforms to create live classes and interactive video lessons in 3d-modeling and design.

ongoing projects

The works here are things that I am currently working on but, while I hope some day they will all be completed, it is a long list and much of it is related to my teaching practice — in the case of A Hundred Dark Tomorrows and Think, for example, these were begun as partial works to demonstrate planning and writing for long fiction courses and turned out well enough to hopefully become books of their own someday. I offer this list as a hopeful reminder to myself and my readers of things to come and to motivate myself to always be writing new work. The exceptions to that is my latest collection of poetry, Failure to Believe, which should be on bookstore shelves by fall 2023, and Visiting the Masters, which is intended for sale in summer 2023.
