Personal Statement:
I joined the faculty of Communication at UMD in the fall of 2005 after completing my graduate studies at Texas A&M University. I am interested in the history of rhetoric and rhetorical theory. I am currently working on a book about the social roles of citizen, consumer, and Christian in the history and rhetoric of political economy. The work is interested in the wrangle of the marketplace, attitudes toward money, and the necessities of life, creativity, and belief. I also have an ongoing interest in prophecy.
In addition to hanging out with my wife, Kathy, and five children, I enjoy reading, conversation, listening to opera, playing basketball, swimming, and walking my black lab mutt, Scully, through Lester Park and around Lake Superior.
