The Spirit World

Hello TSW readers. I would like to introduce myself, as I recently agreed to try my hand at editing this site.

My background is primarily academic: I was an university English professor for a number of years, and now work in academic administration at a private, for-profit university in Atlanta. A good many editing chores — some paid, and some not — have come my way over the years. It’s work I enjoy, and look forward to doing a bit of it here.

Spliced into the middle of my academic career were several years during which I worked in the IT field, working my way up from Computer Guy at Kinko’s to Director of Information Systems at two different software training firms.

I enjoy a wide range of spirits and cocktails, but gravitate toward beer, whiskey, and Martinis. One bit of spirits-related writing I did before coming here was the Martini FAQ.
