My first passion is learning. My second passion is teaching. I have taught literature, story, and creative writing for 15 years and have also served as Master Teacher of Literature and Composition, Instructional Coach, Head of Curriculum, and Headmaster.
For a personal snippet, I live on a small homestead with my wife, five children (13, 12, 10, 8, and 8), four dogs, three cats, eleven cows, six sheep, fifty chickens, three pigs, and five 15 rabbits. I love teaching, reading, writing, storytelling, woodworking, playing board games, designing board games, and the great outdoors.Reviews
