My work: Educator
Fun fact: I love sarcasm - no joke!
I am a retired teacher having taught many grades including kindergarten and college. My hobbies mainly focus around nature. My wife and I raised barn owls for 10 years or so and for 5 years we raised monarch butterflies. The older I get the more I realize how important the little things in life are and that giving back is truly what life is about. My wife is an artist who has put up with my chasing the meaning of life these last 54 years.
