About Me

Experience Summary

I taught Communications 101 to 20 "lifers" at San Quentin Prison as part of the Prison University Project. Some of these men had not been in a classroom in 20 years. I've also spent three years on the Advertising Review Committee for the California Chapter of the American Lung Association vetting all adverting, marketing and PR messaging for the marketplace. Lastly, I published my first book in 2012 entitled "Buzzkill," which is now used as required reading at Drexel University in a Psychology 101 course. It has excellent reviews and I have a blog I used to promote it. It is available on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and about a million other outlets.

Teaching Style

I like to involve the students in exercises instead of passively instruct. I prefer to relate lessons to things that are happening in real life, or issues that conjure significant emotion or stimulate debate. Good creative writing is all about the ability to transfer strong feelings from the writer to the reader. To make them feel what you feel or felt.

My Hobbies

Writing. Listen to old radio air-checks. Collect old advertising in general. Classic car enthusiast. Music lover.

Other Comments

I have a good sense of humor. I like to include comedy in my writing and encourage it with my students. I'm also very animated.
