Relatively speaking, I have been a high school science teacher since the early 90's. Maybe it was the late 80's? After several years testing secondary effluents and hermetic terminals for proper glass to metal seals, I have found teaching physics an electrifying experience. I have taken classes and students to far out places like Zimmer in Moscow, Fernald in Ross, Fermilab in Chicago, Washington DC, Kennedy Space Center, and even to Norwood! My students and clubs have won local, state and national recognition.

I've been playing the guitar since high school. My musical interests with the guitar include classic rock and blues, metal, and country. Although you might think my musical inspiration might be Jimmy Page or Jeff Beck, its not. I've been lucky enough to play guitar with some very talented students here at AHS at various events over the last 15 years. There have been some very special and memorable performances. There are usually two or three students every year that can inspire me to keep playing into retirement.

I'm not too old for rock & roll yet!
