Hello! I was born into a family of eight children in northern New York. I enjoy cold climates ( So don't ask me why I'm in California.) My favorite winter activities are: making snowmen, sledding, cross country skiing and snowball fights. I also love to jog a few miles on clear, cool mornings. I've had many occupations in my life, but teaching is the one I love the most.

I have a great wife and two wonderful boys. They put up with my hobbies of collecting and working on classic cars (mostly cars from the 50's and early 60's), and listening to contemporary Christian and oldies (50's and 60's) music. My family also puts up with my pack-rat tendencies.

My strongest desire is to see my family, friends, and students in Heaven. My favorite Bible verse is John 15:13 - Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
