About Me

Hi everyone, and thanks for taking the time to read about me and my class.

As a communication professor/instructor at Miami University (2001-03), Sinclair Community College (2003-04), and St. Petersburg College (2004-present), I have over 20 years' experience teaching and mentoring students of various ages and backgrounds (from teenagers to senior citizens). I was the third highest-rated professor in America on RateMyProfessors.com in 2012. That same year, I was included in "The Best 300 Professors in America," published by The Princeton Review. I have a B.A. in mass communications, an M.A. in speech communication, and a Ph.D. in leadership and education. In addition, I'm the author and narrator of "Finish Your Damn Speech! (A Public Speaking Book for People Who Hate Public Speaking)."

I have the experience and credentials to help you succeed, but I believe my greatest qualities stem from my personal traits and outlook on life. I teach public speaking classes in a clear, supportive, and engaging manner, and pride myself on being friendly, patient, and approachable. I specialize in helping students manage and conquer their fear of public speaking, and I offer practical tips and strategies for organizing and delivering an effective speech, presentation, or job interview. I believe you'll benefit from the positive, comfortable learning environment I provide.

I live near Clearwater, Florida, and spend my semester breaks near Dayton, Ohio, where I grew up. I enjoy music, movies, hiking, photography, and playing basketball and "Magic: The Gathering."

Thanks again for your time and consideration. I look forward to seeing you soon!
