I teach high school history. Before that I was a special education teacher for quite sometime. I live in the Mountain West with my wife and two German Shepherds. My children (5) are grown and married. I am not as active as I had been. I used to ski a lot in the winter and do some hiking and peak bagging in the summer. Due to spinal stenosis I read a lot more and hike/ski a lot less.
