“Teaching is a basic form of giving. I like using what has been given to me to develop and give back. I am a father and grandfather, and I have alway liked the idea of using my influence to develop others to do the work we have been given. Education, whether formal or informal, is something I have committed my life to with the passion to watch something grow and develop into being a life that matters!”
