	A quote often attributed to Albert Einstein
	(rumor has it that he probably didn't say it - but it sounds good!)

   "As a young man, my fondest dream was to become a geographer.  
    However, while working in the customs office I thought deeply 
    about the matter and concluded it was far too difficult a 
    subject.  With some reluctance I then turned to physics 
    as a substitute."

    I am a cultural/social geographer with teaching interests 
    in human geography, cultural geography, urban geography, 
    LDC development, the history and philosophy of geography, 
    and introductory physical geography.

Research

    My main research interest is:
        The geography of U.S. poverty
