I earned a B.A. degree in English and philosophy with a minor in secondary English education and psychology and taught composition and literature for over twenty-two years at private high schools in Texas and Georgia. As well, I have thirteen years of experience in the sales and marketing of clinical and research laboratory instrumentation. I received The Star Teacher of the Year Award in 2002 and The Lewis Award (Headmaster's Choice as Teacher of the Year) in 2003. In May 2007, students of my school voted me as Teacher of the Year ("Teacher from Whom We Learned the Most"). My most recent publication is "Language-Based Learning Disorders and Language Development: Surmounting the 'Insurmountable.'" (Connections. The Georgia Council of Teachers of English: Columbus, Georgia. 2005. My most recent lecture was given at Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw, Georgia in February of 2007: “Critical Theory and the Boy in the Sycamore Tree: An Informal Lecture in Search of a Story in Search of an Informal Lecture.” Since 1978, I have made my home in the Atlanta, Georgia area with my wife, the former Carol Brunhoefer. We have two productive and happy adult children, Andrea and Paul, one of whom lives in Texas and the other of whom lives in New Mexico.
