I want to be able to take my people skills I've used in selling to clients with my students in my classroom.

Music has always been a HUGE part of my life.  My mom taught me piano and violin.  Today I teach private lessons part time including my two older daughters.  Twice a year I put on a recital for the students to play.

One hobby I've had for over twenty years is Warhammer, especially the painting of the figures.  A squad of twenty could take my up to ten hours to complete but I love it while listening to the radio.  It gives me a a small tangible goal I can achieve.

In the long run I would like to be a principal one day. Short of that I would love to be as good as a teacher as Jaime Escalante was. Yes I know some of his feats may have been dramatized for the movie but he still proved to be a great influence in me wanting to teach.

I want to be a positive male role model that many young people may be lacking when they step into my classroom. In years past I had teachers that gave me extra time after school to either tutor or get advise from. I want to return the favor now by being that person they can count on.
