After a long career as a college professor of information sciences and gender studies, that took me to universities in Pittsburgh, Boston, and State College, PA as well as in Europe, Africa and the Asia Pacific, I have returned to my hometown of Cincinnati, OH with my spouse, Kathy Driehaus. I now spend my time on both academic and creative writing, and engagement in diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
