I am an Oakland native, Pittsburgh bred, and then went on to live 27 years in western Kentucky. Now, back to my roots, I'm driven by sense of purpose, production, and passion. My primary interests include reading, writing, walking, nature, and just tinkering 'round the yard.

Learning is growing. Conversely, if one is not learning then one is not growing. My goal is to provide an environment whereby motivation will lead to enthusiasm for learning. We encourage combination of creativity and discipline, which lead to academic freedom.

I teach history by painting the big picture. Next, by breaking it down into specific components and concepts. Then, putting it back together into relevent cause and effect relationships.

Teaching is to be a guide, at best maybe a mentor. At the Oakland School we are about academic freedom. We teach communication skills, encourage freedom of expression, and dignity to all.
