I have been teaching for almost 50 years and I'm proud of the work I've done, and the impact I've had on the lives of my students. I know what it takes to succeed—to be the best you can be, and I want to share the experience and wisdom I've gained so that you too, can learn how to make a difference, and change lives. I trust that you'll find new and fresh ways to reach and engage your audience, and reexamine your commitment to education.
