About Professor Dryden
I have been blessed with opportunities to learn and teach for the last three decades starting with 6th-grade science all the way up to working with students studying for their Ed. D. and J.D. degrees. I have served as a middle and high school science teacher, coach, and school administrator, and now as an education and law professor. I serve my community and campus through multiple service opportunities, including but not limited to, the United Way of Tarrant County, the Poly Wesleyan Kiwanis, the General Education Curriculum Committee, and the University Judicial Board. I am married to a wonderful woman who serves a dyslexia specialist in a local school district and I have a wonderful daughter who never ceases to amaze me with her talents and character. I am a middle-aged former athlete who still enjoys cycling, golf, hiking and fishing.
