This page will lead you to my projects, both completed and in progress, for English 405 (a.k.a. Advanced Technical Writing).

If for some reason you feel the urge to communicate with me (personal and professional motivations are equally welcome), you can reach me most reliably at my UWEC email account.

If you just want to know what the heck English 405 or Advanced Technical writing are, please feel free to drop by the handy site set up by Dennis Jerz, the mastermind and taskmaster behind this whole idea. (Oh yeah, he's the professor too...) I do feel the need to warn you that the site is set up primarily for students enrolled in this course and so if you are a random visitor, please bear this in mind.
