About
Hi, I'm Eric.
Process: Directed drafting1 round of revision
I'm a writer and adjunct professor in the Louisville, Kentucky area. I build and teach courses in English composition, business, and IT across three university systems, in person and online.
I write personal essays and fiction, and I think a lot about how writing is taught. Before teaching, I worked in IT at a law firm for over four years, which is probably why I'm comfortable letting new technology into the writing classroom instead of keeping it out.
Building with AI
Working in IT didn't make me a programmer. AI changed what I'm willing to try. I've started making software and tools I'd never have attempted before, including this site.
I also write to think through what would be useful in my composition and business classrooms: what kinds of AI tools and programs, and even what lessons.
That's why this site lives on GitHub. Hosting my tools and projects there makes them easier to bring into the classroom. You can see what I'm working on in Projects.
