I am most happy that you are here!
    I will tell you a little about myself. I am finishing a Ph.D. at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. I finished an undergraduate degree at Michigan State Univesity in English Literature, Anthroplogy, and Horticulture.My Ph.D. studies are in American literature, specializing in Cormac McCarthy and violence in the American literary canon.
   Occasionally, I present papers once a year or every eighteen months at various regional or national conferences in topics and novelists which may include William Faulkner and Cormac McCarthy, Violence in the Postmodern Novel, or on Herman Melville and James Fenimore Cooper.
   I have experience in the horticultural and landscape architecture field. I currently work as a landscape designer and as a consultant for a telecommunications firm. I live in West Bloomfield, Michigan with my wife and two children.
