Personal:
I
grew up in the New York metropolitan area and went to UC
Berkeley for my BA. After a few years overseas as a banker/waiter/professional
jazz musician I returned to my native New York to do my MFA at Brooklyn
College. I then went to Europe
to lecture at the University of Debrecen´s
Institute
of English and American Studies as a Fulbright
Scholar where I helped found the
journal Kossuth Review. I have also
participated in the Intercountry Fulbright Lecturer series in
American Literature to the University
in Tromsø in Norway (the world´s northernmost university),
and, in pedagogy, to Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
However
far afield, there´s no place quite like Plattsburgh, where I´m
thrice blessed in my students, my colleagues and the lovely
wilderness surroundings.
