As an entertainer who specializes in humor and having a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction, I have had a variety of creative writing jobs that demanded combining my understanding of motivation with an ability to communicate an educational message.

These have included both editing and creating text for educational publications including:

A Recipe for Success: The Story of Lizzie Kander and Her Cookbook
To be published in 2006 by the State Historical Society of Wisconsin

All Their Ways Are Helping Ways: Tales From the 125 Year History of the Madison Public Library
Book written for The Madison Public Library

"Comedy Activity Guide"

“Teaching Integrated Mathematics and Science- K-5 Curriculum”,

“The Write Source: A Writing Manual for Middle School”:          contributing writer

As a former academic and professor, I have assorted articles included in “professional” publications including The Reading Teacher, The Journal of Reading, & The Journal of Learning Disabilities.

As a storyteller, I have produced two audiotapes of original stories:

“The Chocolate Chip Cookie Boy”
