I am a native Tarheel, having spent all my growing-up years in the Chair City of Thomasville. After graduating high school in 1974, I spent four glorious years at Appalachian State University, earning a B.S. in Biology in 1978. The next four years were spent in the Department of Anatomy at what was then the Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University. My course work was entirely human- oriented and included gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy, cell biology, embryology, biochemistry, and physiology, leaving me well-educated for my current position. I was graduated in 1983, then spent a year as a post-doctoral student at Emory University studying the role of growth factors as cues in the developmental of the vertebrate limb. My career at UNC-W began in 1984 when I was hired to teach BIO 240-241 Human Anatomy and Physiology in support of the new four-year nursing program. In addition, I now teach Vertebrate Embryology (BIO 316) and Biology of Human Aging (GRN 523), and serve the department as Undergraduate Coordinator.
From a less professional standpoint, I am an avid outdoorsman who loves shotgun sports, flyfishing in the mountains, camping, and backpacking. I am very active with my family, playing ball, going to scouts, and just generally goofing off.
