I'm a professor of modern Middle East & world history at Slippery Rock University. I'm married, living in Slippery Rock, PA, with my wife & one of six sons (the others are in UT & CA). My musical tastes are eclectic & I have enjoyed jazz since 1995. I have a relatively large CD/digital collection, most of it jazz & the majority being LIVE performances that run the gamut from early to contemporary.
