Who Am I?

I'm a proud graduate of The University of Findlay with bachelor of arts degrees in Adolescent-Young Adult Language Arts Education and English with a teaching emphasis, and I'm currently studying at the same institution for my MAE in Reading. I enjoy playing hopscotch with hobos, eating breakfast at Tiffany's, and listening to Christmas music in June. I would like to eventually teach education, literature, and writing classes at the college level, but that won't be until I spend a good many years teaching high school English (and partaking in various other service-minded careers). Majoring in Education and English, I know that my wallet will always be empty, but regardless, I will always be happy. I plan to live in a box in the woods surrounded by a pack of poodles and a gaggle of geese. There I can spend my days in leisure, with my Audrey Hepburn look-alike wife, writing to the world.

I currently teach 9th and 10th grade English / Language Arts in a rural school in the middle of the Michigan. I divide my time between central and western Michigan. When I'm not teaching, grading papers, reading, or writing, I like to spend time basking in Lake Michigan's glory with friends and family.
