About

I am a teacher. This blog represents observations from my professional growth in my 15-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.

– married for 17 years with three beautiful daughters
– secondary English teacher
– certified journalism educator (newspaper, yearbook, broadcast)
– regional journalism association coordinator
– adjunct professor
– athletic coach
– forensics coach
– conference presenter
– journalist
– various board and committee positions
