About Me

I am an avid lover of history and books. I am always looking for a way to travel to new historical destinations. My dream vacation would have me spending a bare minimum of about 3 or more weeks in the United Kingdom soaking up the historical information that I can and learning more about the geography of the country that my ancestors came to the United States from in 1635.

When I do get to travel I always add a new stop that I've never been to before. Each site I wind up with, usually, several hundred pictures that I then shift through in order to use them in the classroom for a virtual field trip.

Students are very quick to point out that I always have a book with me. If it's not in my hands or sitting on a desk where they can see it, most know that it is in my bag. If they're reading, usually so am I. I read a lot of science fiction novels and lots of history books, where I pickup new information to bring into the classroom.

I'm also a gamer. Students usually start flocking to whether or not I like Fortnite. The quick answer is no. From that category of a game, I prefer Apex Legends and Call of Duty Modern Warfare: War Zone. I do play a number of other first person-shooters, like the Battlefield franchise, Star Wars Battlefront II, Titanfall 2, Ghost Recon games, The Division series, Halo series, and Destiny 2. I also enjoy adventure/role playing games, like Red Dead Redemption 2, Mass Effect series, Dragon Age series, Assassins Creed series, and Witcher III.

I am originally from Dallas, Texas where I spent most of my childhood. I still have most of my family in DFW or the surrounding area and go for a visit every so often. I lived in Columbia, South Carolina with my family off and on for nearly 14 years. I currently reside in Southern California.
