There were only two jobs in Anglo-Saxon Studies open in the United States that year. I got 50 percent of them.What are your research interests?Early medieval and comparative law.

Encourage a cohort that makes a large university feel like a small and dynamic learning community.What do you enjoy most about LSU?Lady Tiger basketball. My colleagues, both faculty and staff. My students.What are your major accomplishments?Biking 800 miles in France every summer. Learning how to play the mandolin and ukulele, both badly.
