edit data

I am beginning my twelfth year as Professor of Education at Southern Wesleyan University. My doctorate is in Curriculum and Instruction, and over my career I have been a high school math teacher in North Carolina, a professor of math education at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, a missionary to Ukraine, and Dean of the School of Education at Southern Wesleyan University. I am married with a grown son and two grandchildren. I enjoy drawing pencil portraits as gifts for friends, I love to travel, and I am a big C.S. Lewis fan!
