Greetings. I am an ESL instructor at GMU who is trying to catch up on computer skills, since I lived abroad for 20 years. In 1991-92 I taught in Beijing in the People's Republic of China. 

I am a West Coast kid and attended Washington State University as an undergraduate where I majored in physical education.  I am still very interested in sports.I enjoy biking and tennis. I follow the Washington Redskins. But I am also into discourse analysis, conversational styles and strategies and intercultural communication.
