Mike believes that studying writing and literature is an essential component of a solid liberal arts education. It not only makes people better thinkers and communicators – it allows people to learn crucial things about themselves, and it opens doors to new, more effective modes of learning. There is nothing easy about learning to write or read more effectively – but anyone can do it, given some hard work and a positive attitude. Come explore the critical thinking opportunities that studying writing and literature with Mike can offer you.

Mike earned his BA in English from Michigan State University, his MA in Medieval Studies from Western Michigan University, and worked on a PhD in English at Saint  Louis University. He teaches English 101 - Introduction to Composition; English 102 – Writing About Literature, English 200 and 201 – Literature of Western Civilization I and II; English 218 – Horror, Fantasy, and Science Fiction; and Communications 203 / English 208 – Introduction to Film. His interests include the environment, ecology, cooking, popular literary genres, film, and writing. He lives in Grand Haven with his wife, Jennifer.
