I am Assistant Dean of Academic Outreach and Continuing Education at Coastal Carolina University in the College of Graduate and Continuing Studies. I am also Principal Lecture in Philosophy and Religious Studies. I am currently President of the South Carolina Association for Higher Continuing Education, an organization for continuing education professionals in the state. I am involved with efforts at the state level, through the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education and the Coordinating Council of Workforce Development, to improve access to high quality credentials and degrees and to improve the the coordination of workforce development efforts and higher education in South Carolina.

From November 2016 to July 2017, I was a Fulbright Scholar in Madagascar at the University of Antananarivo where I taught American Studies, English, Humanities, and Philosophy. From 2007 to 2009, I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Madagascar where my primary responsibility was teaching English at a high school in the rural village of Ambatofinandrahana. As you can see from my research, I remain active in discussions and projects that span the globe.

Outside of my administrative and academic work with the university, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children; coaching, playing, and watching soccer; and keeping up with world events.
