I work for Carolina Hope Christian Adoption Agency, a job that took me to China last year. In addition to managing adoption cases (I love my clients!), I maintain the website and the agency print publications.

I'd like someday to be at least an amateur linguist. In early 2006 I spent three months in northeast Cambodia doing linguistic fieldwork among the Jarai (minority group in Vietnam and Cambodia). Check out my website below if you're interested.

I'm an evangelical Christian. My favorite journal is First Things.

I used to be a grammatical prescriptivist. Now all my most important prejudices are musical.
