I’m an experienced manuscript editor of scholarly journals and books in literature, philosophy, and related fields. I’ve also been enjoying part-time substitute teaching (emergency certification) in the local middle/high school, with a few long-term assignments as an English teacher.In my spare time, I support the music programs of the local school district, Relay for Life, and other community endeavors. I think of myself as a skeptical optimist, with a hint of realist perfectionism. Over the years, I’ve gotten pretty good at tracking down digital sources, and I’ve been known to help decipher manuscript documents from time to time.
