I marshal the middle between Mathers and McLuhan.


I’m an aging BMX and skateboarding zine kid. That’s where I learned to turn events and interviews into pages with staples. I have since written about music, media, and culture for everything from books and blogs to national magazines and academic journals. I hold a Ph.D. in Communication Studies from the University of Texas at Austin and am currently an instructor in the School of Communication at the University of North Florida. As a child, I solved the Rubik’s Cube competitively.
