Like any English major I've tried to do something with my degree. This has included substitute teaching high school and being attached to several small magazines and local papers. However, I've found I'm most interested in popular culture, and especially media studies. Also, what used to be called "religion in literature", but more broadly applied to music, animation, movies, TV, books and other media. Most of my Amazon reviews are on those sort of topics.

Part of the fun of being an english major is turning people on to books you like that maybe they will like also. I feel that sense even stronger in the areas of animation and rock music, to which I naturally gravitate, and enjoy writing about. When I first heard London-born artist, Steve Scott, and then read his book, it was a 1-2 punch that turned my world upside down, which thankfully will never be the same. Amazon lists me as the author of this book, but I'm really the editor. Realizing that his book and Steve's music may have different audiences, I was also very excited to have a small role in helping bring out his retrospective CD/ MP3 album, "Emotional Tourist" in 2012. There exist numerous listeners worldwide who, like myself, will upon first hearing exclaim, "Where has this music been all my life?"
