My younger life was spent in Southern California and South Florida with stints in Guadalajara, Mexico, Idaho, Hawaii, and Oklahoma. I’m fascinated by, and do considerable research in, mass media communications, writing, and the portrayal of individuals with disabilities in American Literature. I’m an essayist (or couranteer just ’cause it’s such a great word), former Associate Editor and system-wide columnist at the Asian Journal, an English-language, pan-Asian newspaper (20 years) and former Associate Professor of Communications at Alliant International University where I taught writing, publishing, and communications.
My work is included in: Disabilities Studies Quarterly (DSQ), The Asian Journal, Exquisite Cadaver, and Project Kalusugan: Getting and Keeping Filipinos Involved in Social Issues. I’m a member of various and sundry advisory boards and committees because I can’t run fast enough apparently. Community involvements include working with San Diego County Adoptions, El Cajon Commission on Disabilities, and Newspapers in Education. You can read me here, books available in Amazon, and the occasional wanted poster.
