In addition to teaching courses on fiction writing and American literature, he teaches The Literature of Comics and a team-taught, integrated studio/workshop course titled Comics and Narrative Illustration, both of which he designed. He frequently mentors independent studies in comics-making. Recently he helped design and secure accreditation for CCAD's new undergraduate major, Comics and Narrative Practice, one of only four undergraduate BFA programs in comics in the United States. The new major launches in Fall 2017.
