Summary

Student-centered professor and client-centered editorial consultant with expertise in academic liberal arts and editorial work. Offers thirty-plus years of classroom teaching experience. Recent professional pivot saw me operating manifold classes of vehicles, equipment, machinery across multiple platforms, in multiple contexts & applications. I can now boast in twenty-five-plus years operating commercial & industrial vehicles. In college & grad school, I worked every summer as an apartment remodeling crew member; a make-ready technician; and an auto & workplace detailer. Before college, I drove delivery vehicles for a beverage distributor; a chain of florists; & furniture stores, as well as forklifts for a cinder block & paving stone manufacturer.
