BECOMING A CITIZEN OF THE WORLD

History, teaching, exercise, and hunting are my passions.  I retired from teaching history full-time and coaching at the high school level in 2012 because I felt I was beginning to just do a job instead of passionately working at my craft.  I was ready for a new challenge and I have always enjoyed the international experience.

While in college, I studied in Italy for a quarter and after graduation I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines for four years.  Living and working internationally was exciting, difficult and different from the norm.  That uniqueness is the reason I decided to teach internationally during my retirement as well as create a second income to supplement my pension from teaching in the U.S.
