Hello and welcome to my class- a little about myself. I am married to my wife
Jodi for more than 18 years and we have two children, Matt age 12, and Sam age
10. My wife is also a teacher- 1st grade for just about as long as we have
been together. Matt is starting his first season of football in middle school
so he can play basketball later. Sam is really active in Tae Kwon Do. I worked
for many years in the corporate world which I found to be stifling and drab. I
spent several years working in the entertainment industry with United Artists,
a number of years in marketing and telecom and also as a professional
scubadiver, instructor and tourguide. The best decision I ever made was to
become a teacher which I did through an alternative certification program. I'm
a History geek. Just ask anyone in my family- just about everything I do is in
some way connected to my interest in history. I graduated from the University
of Texas with a degree in History with an emphasis on military history and a
minor in Germanic civilization. I am a member of the Texas Military Historical
Society and have worked with the
Texas State Historical Commission in underwater archaeological research. I
also actively collect, buy, sell, and trade military antiques. Hobbywise I
enjoy collecting and restoring antiques, building scale models, the shooting
sports, and watching old movies.
Our mission together is to study the history of civilization from
the origins of mankind up to the present. Just 10-15k years of history in a
school year.
I don't expect everyone to share my passion for history- but look, you have
to take this class to graduate so do your part and I promise I'll help you
in any way I can. Ask around.
