I
am a writer and teacher living in Washington, DC. My writing has appeared on McSweeney's,
in Mountain Man Dance Moves: The McSweeney's Book of Lists, and at An Army of Ermas
Over ten years of teaching, I've gotten a kick out of the entertaining
things kids say as they try to figure out how the world works. I've also killed a class pet. Read some of my stories
about teaching and some quotes from the kids I've taught on my blog, Dead Class Pets.
