Welcome, I'm thrilled to share a bit about myself with you. I wear many hats, but at the heart of it all, I'm a passionate educator and enthusiast of all things Dungeons and Dragons, math, reading, spelling, vocabulary, history, Lego, and gaming.
Teaching and Learning: My journey as an educator has been a thrilling adventure starting when I joined the Army in 1995 where I instructed thousands of students throughout my 27 year career. I'm dedicated to helping students explore the fascinating world of knowledge. Whether it's demystifying the intricate mechanics of D&D, making math engaging and accessible, fostering a love for literature, or delving into the rich tapestry of history, I relish every moment spent in the classroom or at the gaming table.
Values and Beliefs: In all aspects of my life, I hold dear to certain core values. Responsibility, compassion, respect, diversity, and perseverance are the guiding principles that shape my interactions with others and my approach to teaching. I firmly believe that instilling these values in young minds is just as important as the subjects I teach.
Hobbies and Interests: When I'm not deep into the world of education and gaming, you can find me outdoors, enjoying a game of cornhole. It's a perfect way to unwind and connect with friends and family. Just like in my teaching, I value the spirit of competition and camaraderie in every game.
Join Me in This Journey: I invite you to explore my profile, where I'll be sharing my knowledge, insights, and experiences in all the domains I'm passionate about. Whether you're a student seeking to enhance your skills or a parent/caregiver searching for a class, you'll find valuable resources here.
Thank you for stopping by, and feel free to reach out with any questions, suggestions, or just to say hello. Let's embark on this learning adventure together!
