I am entering my 13th year as an educator, the past 11 of them here in the Northside of the Rocket City. I live in Oneida, TN, one hour north of Knoxville, where my wife is a teacher, but during the week I stay in Athens with my parents. My hobbies include playing golf and soccer, building and painting plastic and metal model kits and gaming miniatures, playing various board games, Civil War re-enacting, theatre and choir, and travelling with my lovely wife, Annettee, who is a history teacher at Scott High School in Huntsville, TN.
