Hi all. I've spent the last 8 or so years living in the countries of Papua New Guinea and Australia. I recently completed my PhD degree analyzing the grammar of a previously undescribed language of New Guinea. Now I find myself back in the USA with a vision of using my linguistic expertise to serve the disenfranchised members of my community. I am passionate about helping immigrants and refugees, and this is my practical approach into that sphere. I also have a beautiful wife and three wonderful children!
