I now live in Urbana, Illinois, too far from family and friends still in Texas! After Paschal, I went to Rice University and then UT Austin for graduate school in Computer Sciences. I taught at Rutgers, worked for a computer company in Cambridge, Mass, and am now a professor of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois. My work has focused on building and studying information and communication tools, which help communities learn and work together.
I’m married to Susan Porter Bruce and have two children. Emily graduated from Williams College in 2007 and is now enrolled in a doctoral program in history at the University of Minnesota. Stephen spent a student exchange year in Marche-en-Famenne, Belgium, before enrolling at Yale. We also have deer, groundhogs, rabbits, and Canada geese who enjoy eating everything the least bit green in our garden.
