All About Me
I am married to Brian, and we have two grown children; Daniel is 30, and Matthew is 27. The boys attended HSE Schools through graduation and have prospered in their adult lives. Daniel is married. He and Mariah have explored the Western United States, living and working in California and have chosen to settle down in Colorado. Matthew currently lives in Indianapolis and works for the family business, he is also working to be a professional body builder.
In my free time I like to read, garden, kayak, or be outdoors being active or just enjoying the scenery.
Whenever I have idle time I am always looking for ideas and ways to make learning in the classroom more engaging and hands on. I have a hard time letting go of school work I see it as exploration and not work.
I am an enthusiastic, self-motivated, reliable, responsible and hard working person. I am a mature team worker and adaptable to all challenging situations. I am able to work well both in a team environment as well as using own initiative. I am able to work well under pressure and adhere to strict deadlines.
