General Background:

Currently he is the Treasurer of the Folklore Student Association, Committee Member for the Undergraduate Folklore Minor, and the Student Assistant for Dr. Amy Shuman. He hopes to graduate no later than Spring 2010 before pursuing a Masters in Folklore and a PhD in English. A short list of his areas of study include: oral narrative and tradition, fairy tales, the quest of the Hero, ritual and performance, fakelore, ethnographic studies of "modern" subcultures, and religious myth.
