Bio
I was born in Vermont and have lived all over the US. Prior to the academy I worked in PR and media relations in state and local government in North Carolina. I taught at Purdue University and UNC Greensboro before coming to Wake Forest. I am married and we have two adult children (both Wake Forest graduates). I am a recognized expert on PR and urban legends (by the federal courts) and the McDonald’s hot coffee case (by Retro Reports, a New York Times-affiliated media content producer).
