Fourteen years ago I started my teaching career at The Oakland School which lasted for nine years. I left for five years teaching at two other schools. When I found out that the Oakland School was looking for a science instructor, I immediately applied for the position. The teaching environment is much friendlier and the students are a great deal more interesting. When I was called to tell me the job was mine, my wife and I celebrated. She always said, "I was happiest at the O School."

I hope to do a great deal of hands on, buit I also would like to have the students express their own ideas about theories, laws and principles taught in science. Experiment, Think, and Hypothesize.

I have been married for thirty six years, have three children, and ten grandchildren; most of them spend more time at our house than they do at their own, but the wife and I love it.

After working for inferior schools, I'm delighted to be back where all the students' needs come first and very much look forward to teaching here for many years to come.
