Q: What sold you on coming to NWOSU?
A: I like the fact that they wanted somebody to come and only focus on teaching and working with their students rather than joining to do a bunch of research. I wanted to actually work with them, and that’s what they emphasize here. So I will be teaching all graduate level classes in the education department.
Q: What is one of the first goals you hope to accomplish here?
A: That’s a good question. I just want to work with a good program that’s already been established and expand on it if I can.
Q: What is your favorite class to teach and why?
A: Since I’ve only taught three classes, I really don’t have a favorite. I’m teaching two personnel classes and one finance class. So I have only been doing it for basically three weeks now.
Q: What is your “superpower”?
A: I’d say it’s my memory. I have a really good memory. I basically remember all the stuff I read. I always tell people my mind is filled with tidbits of information. They are most times very helpful or they are just waiting to be helpful.
Q: What is something most people don’t know about you?
A: Well since nobody in the university knows me at all, ha ha ha, I am married and have three kids and three grandchildren.
