I’m glad you found me and hope you will subscribe to my Blog.  As you’ll learn in the weeks ahead, I spent my entire career in education, the last thirty-three years in higher education.  Upon retirement, I dabbled in politics—getting my butt beat in two local elections—I won’t be writing much about that!

It didn’t take long to realize the political arena was not for me—Momma Cochran didn’t raise a fool.  So I turned back to writing, my life-long passion.  I labored five years to publish my first novel, Signature Affair, and now I’m finalizing Costly Affair.

I’ve been a change agent all of my life, changing diapers and my political views (interesting those two thoughts came together), and then into my career bringing about changes as a Dean, Provost and University President.

And so, in my Blog you’ll find eclectic topics like growing up poor on a dirt-farm in Indiana, trying out with the Minnesota Twins, renovating a church as our home, dealing with my wife’s brain tumor, learning to write fiction, and of course, critiques and analysis of issues in higher education.

I hope you will follow along; who knows where we’ll end up!
