This is the first time I have taught this particular course. I
am in my eighth year as an associate professor at MSU. I
love living in East Lansing, especially basketball games at the Breslin. I bike
to campus each day. The weather here is actually quite nice when compared to where I grew up! In short, I like this place a lot.
I grew up in central Minnesota (Brainerd, for those who have seen Fargo). I went to the University of Chicago, where I was a philosophy major. After that, I taught English for two years in eastern Hungary (see my school here). Subsequently, I taught in northern Minnesota at Indus High School for four years (secondary social studies, k-12 gifted talented, philosophy and cinema courses). I received my PhD in education from the University of Minnesota in 2007.
I am the proud father of three children, Gus (seven years old), Teddy (five years old), and Mary Rose (15 months). My wife, Molly, is an assistant prosecutor for Ingham County. At a time where many people continue to struggle to get by, I feel very fortunate.
