My Experience As A Leader:

My classroom experience included 34 years of teaching including running a library media center, computer labs, and computer maintenance responsibilities. Before that I was in the classroom in grades 1-8. I retired in 2007 and currently am subbing in the Cedar Rapids Metro Area. Just recently accepted a job to finish the year part time in an elementary school running the library. My experience as a leader with People to People has taken me to England, Ireland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, France, Spain, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. This will be my 6th journey this year and my 8th year of being associated with People To People programs.

My Travel Experience:

As mentioned above my travel experiences has taken me to a variety of destinations. As well as those countries my family has also traveled extensively through the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Jamaica. We love to travel and over time have developed sort of a method to our madness related to traveling. Currently we travel with our siblings and with our children to different parts of the United States and overseas at various times of the year.

My Hobbies and Interests:

My personal hobbies include exercising through a variety of activities. I enjoy lifting weights, somewhat moderately, riding the elliptical, Nordic track, spinning bikes and the treadmill. Before I had to sort of eliminate the high impact workouts I was involved in the Martial Arts for almost 30 years, studying and teaching. Of course I love to read a variety of literature. My wife, Tracy, and I love spending time with our children; Tiffany, Tarah, and Caleb along with our five grandchildren.

My Favorite People to People Moment

There are so many but one that sticks in my mind is climbing the castle tower in England an abseiling down the outside of the tower.
