I am Past-President the Indiana State Reading Association, was chair of the 2012 ISRA Fall Conference and webmaster for ISRA. I am an English teacher at Concord High School (Elkhart, IN) where I teach AP English Language and Composition, Shakespeare, Biblical Literature, Journalism and Sports Literature; I also advise the student newspaper. My current interest and study in reading instruction is student response (specifically reader-response theory) to multiple texts. Lori and I have been married for 26 years and we have two sons: Evan (a sophomore at Purdue University) and Colin (a sophomore at Goshen High School).
