Well, if you have
come to this page to find out about me, then it would make
one wonder just how bored you are! No, just kidding. I hope
you enjoy learning a little about me and the things I find
interesting.
For starters, I was
born in the small southeastern Idaho town of Grace. Actually,
I was really born in the neighboring town of Soda Springs
because Grace did not have a hospital. After my first year
of life, the family moved to Ogden, Utah where we lived for
eight years.
I was lucky enough
to have a father who coached basketball, and after his coaching
years at Weber State in Ogden we moved to Chicago where Dad
and the family started a 25-year N.B.A. career. We lived in
the suburbs of Chicago for eight years before we moved to
the Washington D.C. area. I finished high school in Maryland
in 1977 and started my own life. You can learn about my educational
and professional experiences by reading my
resume'.
I have several personal
hobbies and interests that I pursue now that I am grown and
in the mist of my career and life. The one interest that seems
to drive all I do is learning new things. I am a firm believer
that learning never stops and is only limited by your interests
and motivation. I learned how to fly airplanes in 1994, and
I am now a commercial/instrument rated pilot who enjoys flying
for the fun and the love of it.
Other interests I
have include fishing, camping, photography,
and most other outdoor activities.
I also like to watch NASCAR, N.F.L. football, tennis, and
the Yankees, but the only sport I seem to participate in is
running. I can't say I really enjoy it, but I am fond of keeping
fit and running does the trick for me.
My two children,
Kyle and Kami Jo, are grown and away from home and, they bring
a great deal of joy, happiness, anger, pride, and love into
my life. Besides my children, flying, fishing,
and photography the next
greatest hobby I have is teaching math, coaching basketball,
and in general working with young people. There is not much
in this world that compares to helping young adults succeed.
Thank you for taking
the time to learn a bit about me. I hope you will never stop
learning.
