Hard working, methodical and passionate in whatever task I take on. I have established strong relationships with the many students I have taught and coached over my 35 years in education. Great pride was taken in establishing the Fallen Soldier Memorial for one of our Marines that was killed in action in Afghanistan. Strong supporter of our men and women in the military and I want to give back to them what they have sacrificed for me.
