`Q: If you weren’t a communications professor what would you be doing?
A: “I thought I would be in the production business and that’s what I did on my sabbatical but I didn’t like it. Being a professor worked out so well, I would probably be a high school teacher.”
Q: Which Communications course do you enjoy teaching the most and why?
A: “I enjoy teaching so much, so every area of communications. They all have a different challenge, so they all give a different attraction for me.”
Q: Since you grew up in a less technologically advanced era, what amazes you about technology today?
A: “What amazes me is how much it is taken for granted. Access to information is easier and faster but it doesn’t motivate students. I’m also amazed by the production technology that’s on campus compared to when I came to Millersville.”
Q: What is the best book you’ve read recently?
A: “I just finished reading ‘Blink: The Power of Thinking without Thinking’ by Malcolm Gladwell. “It’s about making snaps judgments about people without knowing anything about them. Being as though I teach Communications it was fun to read. “
Q: What is your favorite television and radio show?
A: “The Good Wife’ and ‘Men of a certain Age,’ I DVR those so I can watch them all the time. Dan Patrick on ‘Sports Talk’ is my favorite radio show.”
Q: Do you feel accomplished being a Professor at Millersville?
A: “Oh my God, yes you bet! I am making a difference and that’s what matters to me.”
Q: What do you do in your spare time?
A: “I like to write, do some woodworking, and playing golf. My wife and I travel a lot. We like to hang out together. I am very lucky.”
Q: What do you see yourself doing when you retire?
A: “I am at least six years away from retiring. That way I can see at least three more freshman classes all the way through. But I will travel by car with my wife. Spend more time in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and spend even more time with my grandkids.
