I am basically a laidback person who likes to have good clean fun. I am a musician of many forms and am starting an orchestra program at the high school where I also teach math. I love to laugh and any excuse I have for laughter is readily taken. I think that life is here for us to enjoy and to learn. A student recently asked me what I was afraid of and I had to reply a hearty, "nothing!" I'll try anything once.

I enjoy being active and sports. I am a swim coach (though I'm glad that the season is over this year). This year, I am planning on running the Portland Marathon. My two goals are to finish and to not finish last. Very doable.

As if I am not busy enough I am working on my doctorate in educational leadership. I begin dissertation this summer. It is very exciting.

I'd love to chat, email, etc. Drop me a line!
