About The Teacher
While many find some of my habits a little "peculiar" (tomatoes everywhere, funny accent, Donna the Buffalo/Jerry Jeff Walker/ Jimmy Buffett music, and whatnot), I am generally considered to be harmless. I really enjoy reading, writing, cats, the beach, music of various types (but especially The Beatles), crossword puzzles, movies, ice-cream, the Atlanta Braves, Tennessee Volunteer Sports, the Tampa Bay Bucs & Rays, Miami Dolphins,drums/drummers and cooking. I am married (25th annivesary this May) to French Canadian lady that is a lot prettier and smarter than me. Sarasota has been home for 22 years, moving here from Atlanta, Georgia and prior to that, the great state of Tennessee. I received a B.S. in Education from the University of Tennessee, a M.Ed from National Louis University in curriculum and instruction. I also hold a gifted endorsement from the state of Florida. This is my 13th year at SMS, 1 of which I was an 8th grade science teacher with the Gnu team, 5 with the multi-grade Loggerheads. I spent 3 years with the multi-grade Pioneers and I am now really looking forward to a 4th year of being a multi-grade Voyager. This year we will study the geography, history, culture, government & economics of the Americas & Europe. We will also study about "The World We Live In" (cheeseburgers & paradise), pirates & the Caribbean, Blues music, the Holocaust, & life its own self. We will also be participating in the History Phair with the theme this year being "Innovation in History: Impact & Change." To quote the Beatles, "a splendid time is guaranteed to all." Inspiring Words: "Cool Attracts!" (Callyn Hall & I "invented" this theory.) "You give to the world, you give to yourself, when you're giving your best to somebody else." (These are lyrics from Donna the Buffalo - a very cool band.)
