About

I'm just a simple guy from Fargo, North Dakota, trying to make my way throught the world. I've lived in Chicago and now Boston, where I currently reside in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood. 

For my day job, I work as an instructional designer at Boston College where I assist faculty in using technology in their teaching. Much of my current instructional design work focuses on the use of social software such as blogs and wikis in education.

I work as an and in my spare time I'm also a doctoral candidate in the English Department where I am specializing in Composition and Rhetoric. My dissertation research focuses on the genre of place blogging and examines how people use new media to foster a deeper sense of place.

• To deepen my sense of place.
• To experiment with place blogging and other new place-oriented technologies.
• To make the dissertation process a bit more collaborative and a bit less isolated.
