The Convict is rehabilitated and back from the prison of West
Lafayette, Indiana. I moved there to pursue my PhD back in 2002 and
hated every minute in that hellhole. I moved back to Normal in spring
2005 and have been teaching communication at Illinois State University
ever since. My wife, Amy, earned her PhD this spring and is teaching
at Heartland Community College in Normal. I'm hoping to finally
finish my PhD dissertation either this fall or next spring. It's
taken me awhile because we have three kids; Emma, who is 4 1/2, Jack,
who is 3, and Katie, who will be 2 in November. As if all that wasn't
enough to keep me busy, I've been playing drums in a band called
Knights of Crisis since March. FUW is still very much a part of my
life. Someone wrote a review of my teaching on
ratemyprofessor.com
and mentioned that I used to do pro wrestling. Now each semester my
students ask me about it and I direct them to YouTube. All reviews
have been positive. :) I'm really looking forward to the reunion;
hope to see you all there!
