Lets see,

I have lived in Lake Hurst New Jersey, Buffalo New York, Houston Texas, and St. Louis Mo.

I will make this simple. Eldorado High School 75-78
UNLV 79-83 B.S. in Education UNLV 83-85 Masters of Education

I have been a teacher in Clark county for the past 25 years. I have taught Special ed, Driver Ed, and Physical ed. I am presently the Athletic Director at Cimarron-Memorial High School

Being a teacher I have had a lot of free time and I love to travel. I have been across the country from Seattle to South Padre to New York city. I have been to Hawaii 4 times thanks to relatives. Been to Vancouver to Toronto Cananda.

The greatest trip was to Italy. 14 days of seeing the mother land.

Greatest accomplishments raising 3 great girls. For myself graduating from UNLV with a B.S. in Education and Master's degree in Education.

In my teaching career I havee been awarded the Who's Who in US teachers in 1995 and 2000.

In my coaching career (Head Baseball coach, Assistant Football coach, and now Head Girls golf coach, I was named coach of the year in 1997 and 2005. My baseball teams experienced great success over the years. Many of my former players went on to play and college and one of them (Brad Thompson) played when the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series. That was neat to be there for that.

The greatest accomplishments have been teaching young men and women values and a strong work ethic which they can use in their future lives. That is the fun part when they come back to school and tell you about their success stories.

What else- Winning the zone championship in Baseball our senior year. The friends I made will last me a lifetime.

Other memories- Friday nights at Pizza place next to college park and all the socials we used to have.
