I live in San Diego, California, and work as a freelance provider of editorial services to publishers and authors, mostly in the field of East Asian history, but also in other areas including religious studies and English literature. Some details of my editorial experience can be seen at my LinkedIn profile.
Previously, I developed and tested computer software and managed technical groups for over 20 years, mostly at SAS Institute, and taught writing at Richland College, SMU, and UCSD. I received a BS in Math/Computer Science from UNC-Chapel Hill (honors paper: "Computerized Legal Research"), an MA from Duke (thesis: "Ideology in the U.S. Labor Department's Dictionary of Occupational Titles"), and an MFA in Writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts (thesis: "The Poetics of Rage").
Several literary magazines and the website Verse Daily have published my poems, one of which was nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and I am the co-author of two nonfiction books.
