Personal

I have a deep interest in French History, particulary the hisotry of education in France, including the development of the university. I am a semi-professional photographer and have been photographing a wide variety of locations of France over a 20-year period. The COE at Illinois State Univeristy has a number of my photographs hanging throughout the building in large-format canvas prints. I am a technologt "early adopter," which has brought me both enjoyment and frustration throughout my entire life, starting in childhood! I was born and raised in suburban Chicago.
