Profile

Recently retired. I spent 28 years on the East Coast as a newspaper writer and editor. For the last 12 years, I've been a middle school and high school social studies and language arts teacher at several different schools. I spent my last year teaching at the school within Grand Canyon National Park, and I still do extensive substitute teaching there. I'm married with two daughters and two grandchildren. Other interests include hiking, reading, photography, traveling and following sports. I'm a huge baseball fan, and also follow football and basketball closely.
I'll also be relatively scarce in November and December, as I am a professional Santa Claus and a regular Santa on the Polar Express out of Williams.
