5 books17 followersI was born in Toronto, Ontario and raised in Dundas, Ontario with my two brothers and one sister.
After graduating from Cathedral Boys High School in Hamilton, ON, I decided to study for the Roman Catholic priesthood at Resurrection College in Kitchener/Waterloo.After deciding I could not live the celibate lifestyle, I left the seminary and completed my undergrad degree in History at St. Jerome's College, University of Waterloo.
I became engaged to Anne Runstedler after graduation and entered teacher training in Hamilton. Anne and I were married in June, 1973 and I started teaching the following September. My thirty-five year career teaching History was split between two schools: St. Benedict in Cambridge, and St. David in Waterloo.
Anne and I raised three children in Waterloo, and I retired from teaching in June, 2008.
My first book (2002) "Getting It Right in History Class" was published by Data Based Directions - a text to guide students in the development of classroom writing skills. My second book (2007, 2008, 20010, 2014) "
A Personal Journey to the Heart of Teaching" was published by Iceberg Publishing. It won an IPPY Bronze Medal in 2008.
Anne and I decided to form our own publishing company, Fiora Books, in December 2013. We republished "A Personal Journey to the Heart of Teaching" in May 2014 under our own imprint.
We are looking forward to publishing the first novel of my futuristic drama series "The Genesis Saga" in the fall of 2014.
