I am committed to lifelong learning; to be open to new and challenging realities that enhance our lives and make our world a better place in which to live.

I am an avid fan of football, baseball, basketball, and hockey as well as a wide variety of other sports. I am also a close follower of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and all things related to Marvel Comics. Finally, as a once and always Social Studies teacher, I am deeply connected to all things related to US and World History and to the scope of political development at home and throughout the world.
