Summary
After 35 years at BMW, I retired just as Covid struck. I was retired for over three years before realizing I needed something more than golf and fishing. I decided to return to school and earn my Master's in Education from the University of North Florida to teach History. My work experience will help make me a better teacher. This is the case of the path not pursued 41 years ago. Too many people my age complain about today's youth. I seek to be inspired by them.
