For 35 years I served as a teacher, coach and administrator of an elementary, middle and high school campus. I retired in 2006 and attempted different challenges. Each of those challenges did not turn out as I had hoped. However, retirement does not agree with me and I feel the need to be actively involved in a work that uses my skills and experiences. I am in good health, energetic, enthusiastic, a problem solver, well-spoken, and relational.
