Milestones
My road in life has taken me all over.
I loved computers and science, but hated high school.
Accepted a full ride scholarship to Annapolis because I felt obligated to try out the opportunity.
Hated college. Dropped out to find what really mattered and met God.
I became a missionary in New Zealand, Australia, and Fiji with YWAM and Hillsong.
Finished college, got married and worked any odd job, from custodial to clerical.
Then I, my wife, and parents had dreams of me becoming a teacher in a year.
It was crazy. Teachers
were losing jobs, but I got my teaching credential, and started subbing.
Within a year, I landed my first teaching position, just like the dreams God gave me. And I love it.

Day to Day
Last Tues, I set class up for an experiment. At 8:00 am, I prepared some yeast, sugar, test tubes, and balloons to do a fermentation lab. At 8:30 am, I greeted my class at the door. Using the lesson plans, I taught about fermentation to my students, then let them experiment in a hands-on lab to determine which temperature is the most productive for yeast fermentation. They loved it. Class ended at 10:30 am, and my next class began. At 1:00, I had staff meetings and paperwork until 3:00. Done.
