He is also the Director of the Undergraduate Writers' Conference. This is his sixteenth consecutive year teaching. Previous to his work at USC, he taught at the University of California, Irvine for seven years where he served four years as an Assistant Course Director and three as editor of _A Student Guide to Writing at UCI_. In addition to teaching writing, he has also trained and mentored graduate student teachers and new lecturers for eight years (at UCI and USC).

He is a published poet (his first book of poems, _Full Nova_, is available on amazon.com) and has published an essay called "Email Small Group Peer Review Revisited" in _Computers and Composition_. His poem, "Four Darks in Red, 1958," was on display at the Tate Modern Museum in London (as part of the winter 2008 Mark Rothko retrospective), and he is working on two additional collections of poetry. | |
