: About Me

Greetings,
With two masters degrees in education, and educational technology, as well as 23 years of coaching at the high school level, I am very qualified to share some knowledge that will be useful. I also pride myself on my sarcastic wit, entertaining people with my humor just about everywhere I go. I wrote a weekly Top Ten List for over 10 years in a school district setting starting with a handful of friends and mushrooming out to 500+ malcontents who craved the weekly wit. In addition I have written a book on the life of at-risk students- a blend of comedy and tragedy.
I have over 20 years experience working with at-risk youth, running a program successfully for over a decade.
I am a WEALTH of knowledge who isn't afraid to laugh at myself and others in the process.
I would love some feedback on my writing and would love to contribute feedback as well,
Enjoy!

Having been in education as a teacher, administrator, at-risk specialist, and many other kid-related callings, I will readily admit that there are flaws in the system and in people as a general observation. This does not excuse students from their inability to perform at an acceptable academic level however. Preparation For Imperfection- We are training our kids to exist and contribute in a world that is fu...
