He moved from the University of Cincinnati to teach at the American College in London. 33 years later, he still calls the UK home. He is married to an English woman, has UK citizenship, and lives in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, just outside central London.

Blimey, I’m Knackered! An American’s Survival Guide to British English is now available in bookstores, online and wherever fine books are sold. (Due to shipping issues, it will be in UK stores on October 5, 2021.)
