I received my PhD in American Religious Studies from Drew University. This is my website, a record of things published and taught, illustrated and illuminated, documented and argued. It will be of interest to those who think about culture, religion, and the popular as interrelated social phenomena.

It will also be of interest to those looking for support during the dissertation phase of their doctoral studies. I offer various one-on-one programs that address the three most important aspects of the dissertation process and seeing it to completion: structure, Content, and support. Please refer here for more about such services, or feel free to email for further information.

I am currently an affilitated Fellow at the Center for Cultural Analysis at rutgers university-new brunswick, and a USIH-IUPUI Community Scholar at Indiana University. I am also currenly looking for full time employment at either the college or high school level.

thank you very much for your interest in my work.
