I live in Greensboro, North Carolina. There, I teach English (mainly composition and Shakespeare) at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I moonlight as a dungeon master who currently runs two campaigns in the same world. Every weekend, I perform improv comedy at a professional improv club in downtown Greensboro. My top three favorite things are: pie, cats, and sandwiches. If you can somehow combine all three and not hurt the kitties, I’ll be your best friend forever.
