: About Me

I am a high school science and technology education teacher in St. John's NL.

Most of my time is spent volunteering for my church, usually having something to do with music. The rest of my time is spent coaching basketball, watching my kids play basketball, helping run their basketball league etc.

I love photography and wish I had money to support my hobby. If anybody has a digital SLR camera which they hate, they can just give it to me.

In 2001 I received a Masters degree in Education from Memorial University of Newfoundland where I was recognised a Fellow of the School of Graduate Studies. In the following year I won the Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence.

I don't want to be one those parents who end up doing the projects for the kid (it's happened once or twice) but I want him to do well. Science is not my son's favourite subject, he is (gulp) artsy, he likes to write, and he's theatrical and musical. As a result he needs my help. And I am torn. I want the project to be excellent because I know he's a good enough student to do an excellent project but it is tr...
