Hired, Fired, Inspired

As an educator, this blog represents observations from my personal life and professional growth during my 17-year career. In no way should this be mistaken for advice or any form of professional expertise. If you are looking for an expert in teaching, English and/or life, you are on the wrong site.

I have had several professional and personal experiences that will influence the writings posted here. These include:
– married for 19 years with three beautiful daughters
– secondary English teacher, Career and Tech Ed. teacher
– certified journalism educator (newspaper, yearbook, broadcast)
– regional journalism association coordinator
– adjunct professor
– athletic coach
– forensics coach
– conference presenter
– various board and committee positions
