I have accepted a new position at William Carey University and I am very excited about the move. I am the new Associate Professor and Chair of the Career and Technical Education Department at William Carey and I am working to launch two programs in August. There will be an undergraduate and graduate degree and this will be the only program in this field in the southern part of Mississippi. It is a great opportunity to fill an important need in the state and I am praying that everything goes well. My new colleagues are the most positive and supportive group of people that I have ever worked with, it has been a great beginning.
The college creed is from the writings of William Carey.
Expect great things from God,
Attempt great things for God.
A lot to live up to, I will keep you posted on my journey.
A blog that celebrates creativity in work and teaching

Why "Sleepy Artisan"
Have you ever been so involved in a project that you could not put it down? You find yourself thinking about it at random moments. How to make it better, how to make tiny improvements, what little bits to add and what to remove.
It becomes a consuming passion and you steal time away from other less interesting commitments. It is more that a project; it becomes an art form because you have put so much of yourself into your work. Sometimes the time gets away from you and you have let your "work" stretch far into the night.

This blog is for all the sleepy artisans; I hope you will share your passion for excellence with the rest of us.

This is what I believe about career and technical education
CTE provides every individual with the opportunity to become whatever they want to be in life by providing technical skills on which to build their careers
CTE opens doors to future education by providing a skill that makes the pursuit of future education financially possible
CTE frees individuals from being forced into educational programs that do not meet their personal or professional needs
CTE as a profession has a long and noble history of service to the individual and to society
CTE professionals rarely trumpet the achievements of their peers and profession and for this reason their work does not always receive the recognition that it deserves
Working in career and technical education is a noble calling and I invite you to share and comment on the experiences and issues that celebrate the artistry and creativity of the workers who build our world.
