You may recognize my name (or photo) from my bi-weekly column in the Salem Leader. Titled "Educationally Speaking", it's a spoof on an old friend's column, "Historically Speaking". I used to write about my experiences of a small town boy that moved to the big city (Indianapolis) to further his career and education at Indiana University Indianapolis. Today, I write about almost everything that comes to me.
You can read all of my columns from the past and in the future right here:
