I am a recently retired elementary school teacher, having taught second, third, and fourth grades for nineteen years. My writing draws on my classroom experiences with that age group. The story of a teacher trying to involve his students in the meaningful study of history on a personal level reflects a major theme of what was my teaching style.
I have been writing or re-working and telling stories professionally for more than 20 years, and appear regularly at area schools, libraries, bookstores and stages. I am happily married, and the proud grandfather of fourteen, to whom I have dedicated six recorded collections of the stories I tell. Eclectically, I am also an avid collector of ancient Greek, Roman, and British coins, and a summertime kayaker in our beautiful Puget Sound.
