Larry Long

I am an all around athlete that has played and been competitive in the sporting world on many levels, but my athletic interests at the moment have shift towards working on my golf swing and running triathlons.  I also enjoy playing the guitar and singing in Knoxville and around the Knoxville area.   Professionally, I am interested in the many relationships between education and crime, and at the completion of my MA degree I hope to continue my research while pursuing a PhD.
