I teach American Literature,journalism, AVID, and cross country at Kearny High School in San Diego, California.
I was born in Logansport, Indiana, a shrinking town of about 18,000 at the confluence of the Wabash and Eel rivers in the north central section of the state. I lived in Bloomington, IN, while attending Indiana University, then moved to San Diego in the mid-1970's where I have remained. Teaching has been my only profession, although I worked full-time during some of my college years as a cook, a waiter, a dispatcher for a trucking firm, and a laborer in a greenhouse and flower shop.
My current professional interests include flexible scheduling, interdisciplinary instruction, socratic seminars, and project-based classroom instruction. I have reached the point of diminishing returns with my relatively traditional approach so I would like to reach more students and avoid boredom.
My hobbies include reading, cooking, working with wood. My chief interests are my wife, Pam, my three children, and a small but significant group of friends.
