One of the best professors at WPU. Great man and a great teacher. Not only should you take him if you have to fill an english requirement, but you should go out of your way to take one of his classes even if you don't. He's like one of those movie professors (like Robin Williams in Dead Poet's Society) that aren't supposed to exist, but he does.
