Hello and welcome to my class- a little about myself. I am married to my wife
Jodi for more than 20 years and we have two children, Matt age 14, and Sam age
12. My wife is also a teacher- 1st grade for just about as long as we have
been together. My oldest son, Matt, is all about baseball. Sam is really
active in Tae Kwon Do. I worked for many years in the corporate world which I
found to be stifling and drab. I spent several years working in the
entertainment industry with United Artists, a number of years in marketing
and telecom and also as a professional scubadiver, instructor and tourguide.
The best decision I ever made was to become a teacher which I did through an
alternative certification program. I'm a History geek. Just ask anyone in my
family or a former student- just about everything I do is in some way
connected to my interest in history. I graduated from the University of Texas
with a degree in History with an emphasis on military history and a minor in
Germanic civilization. I am a member of the Texas Military Historical Society
and have worked with the Texas State Historical Commission in underwater
archaeological research. I also actively collect, buy, sell, and trade
military antiques. Hobbywise I enjoy collecting and restoring antiques,
building scale models, the shooting sports, and film.
Our mission together is to study the history of civilization (and of Europe
in APES) from the origins of mankind up to the present. Just 10-15k years of
history in a school year.
I don't expect everyone to share my passion for history- but look, you have
to take this class to graduate so do your part and I promise I'll help you
in any way I can. Ask around.
