About Me

Polish/Irish military brat who lived in Germany, graduated high school in Hawaii, went to Florida (go Gators!!), and ended up in San Antonio (go Spurs! go Stars!) - the place I now consider home. I attended graduate school in DC and managed to get my dream job after returning to Texas - a college writing professor at UTSA! Now I am an Academic Advisor at UTSA, and I love my job. As an ex-DJ and ex-airline employee turned professor turned academic advisor, I find my wild youth has been (somewhat) tamed, but I still love going to drink a beer and seeing live music.
