Although a “virtual” faculty member currently residing in Boston, Massachusetts, and teaching at ASU online, my heart is very much in Texas! I lived in Texas for 20 years working and going to school in the Houston-Galveston area of the state during this period. I feel honored to be offered the opportunity of serving and assisting the ASU communities; student, faculty, administrative and indirectly the local community.
