Ask anyone who knows me and they'll mention to you that I am absentminded, hopelessly addicted to chocolate and Dr Pepper, and hard to drag out of a bookstore.
VITALS:
I graduated from James Madison University in 1996 with a B.A. in English with a certificate in secondary education and a bachelor's in piano performance/accompanying from the School of Music about three weeks ago, as of this writing. While I was there I wrote for the JMU Breeze and played in the Marching Royal Dukes my first year (loud, fun, obnoxious band music).
I'm torn between music, writing, and teaching. I had a wonderful experience the last two summers working with the University of Virginia's Young Writers Workshop, a program I would recommend to any high school student who loves to write or anyone older who loves to write and teach.
Greg Howard--amazing musician on the Chapman Stick, has done beautiful solo recordings and also some interesting work with Dave Matthews Band and with Code Magenta, a poetry/jazz group
