Greg Underwood has taught English at Pearl River since 1997.  He teaches Developmental English and Composition classes, and sometimes refers to himself in the third person.

Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, Greg graduated from Christian Brothers High School in 1987.  From there, he matriculated at Spring Hill College, in Mobile, Alabama, where he majored in Accounting and minored in English.  Additionally, he also ate many raw oysters and played rugby.  He received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1991.

A couple of years later, as Greg journeyed, he came near Damascus, and suddenly there shined about him a light.  He abandoned his foray in to the wonderful world of accounting, and in the summer of 1993, began graduate work in English at the University of Memphis. He received his M.A. in 1995, and thereafter moved to Hattiesburg, where he currently resides, to begin his Ph.D. work in English at the University of Southern Mississippi.

Now in the dissertation phase of his doctoral program, Greg specializes in teaching writing and  composition, as well early-modern British Literature, particularly of the 17th century.   He has taught a variety of classes, ranging from basic to technical writing, to British literature surveys.  He has presented his research at various conferences, and has published on the teaching of writing.

Greg's hobbies include reading, golfing, eating catfish, and mixing writing genres.

Greg is married to the former Leigh Ann Lane of Scottsboro, AL.  Her silk gown featured a rich embroidery of sequined pearls and other miscellaneous adornments.  After a honeymoon in Jamaica, the couple resides in Hattiesburg.
