I have been fortunate enough to teach at several different institutions which
has afforded me the opportunity to work with many different kinds of students.
But the most difficult aspects of teaching is designing a course; this requires
far more preperation than most people think. I have found it useful to look at
the syllabi others have used to get ideas. Thus, I include syllabi of
courses I teach on the "Courses" pages. Feel free
to have a look if you are interested, and if you have any comments or questions
send me a note. If you are interested in knowing more about my academic life check out my interactiveVitae
I am also the director of MCC's Study Abroad Ireland program; a four-week program located in the Irish Midlands. Check out the SAI website for more information.
In my spare time I enjoy fencing epee,
jet and snow skiing, gardening, throwing darts and drinking good whiskey (single malt Irish or Scotch whiskey).
