I am a former teacher and have worked in education at all levels, Kindergarten through College. I currently support high school students with special needs in their regular academic classes at a public high school in Milwaukee, WI. I am a father of 3 and have been married to the love of my life for 26 years. I spend ample amounts of time reading books and watching movies. But one of my favorite pastimes is playing card games with my wife at home (or on special occasions at a local diner). I also love making up songs and creating goofy, interactive games with my youngest daughter. From time to time I will pick up my guitar, with the help of which I have written many a song. My greatest joy is encouraging others.
