I'm a two-career guy - three, if you count this podcast. My first career was working in the children's entertainment and education industries for companies like Disney Online, Lightspan, Dr. Seuss, and Rabbit Ears Productions, where I produced over 30 half-hour shows that were on Showtime, PBS, video, audio, and books on tape. I also worked with some A-list talent including Meryl Streep, Denzel Washington, B.B. King, Yo-Yo Ma, and Elvis Costello. And I earned a bunch of awards including two Grammy nominations (for Best Childrens Recording) and a Humanitas prize. I decided then to go for the big bucks and switched to teaching history in an inner-city high school. I have three awesome kids and I've been married to my best friend for over 33 years. Dogs Rule!
I'm also - kinda, sort of, but not really - a two-career guy. After spending 16 years teaching rhetoric, composition, and English literature at places like the University of Memphis, Georgia Southern University, the University of Cincinnati, Penn State, and Southern Connecticut State, the ever increasing adjunctification of higher education forced me to hang up my tweed blazer with patches at the elbows and become a high school history/English teacher. My articles, essays, and short stories have appeared in Inside Higher Ed, Rio Grande Review, Waccamaw, Love Poems & Other Messages for Bruce Springsteen, and elsewhere. I've presented at the annual conferences of the Popular Culture Association in the South, the Mid-Atlantic Popular and American Culture Associations, the Southwest/Texas Popular and American Culture Associations, and Glory Days: A Bruce Springsteen Symposium. Unlike Ken, I will not pander to our canine audience, no matter how cute they all might be.
