I am a professor in the Physics Department at Furman University, where I teach courses in physics and astronomy, and manage the Timmons Planetarium in the new Townes Science Center. 

When I'm not teaching, I collaborate with astronomers from UNC-Asheville to develop a two-element interferometer, the Dedicated Interferometer for Rapid Variability (DIRV), at the PARI site using their 26-m telescopes at 2.2 and 8.4 GHz.
