"Learn to read and read to learn. It's a beautiful thing. Think about it... Talk about it.. Enjoy it."
You're encouraged to forget you've ever seen this picture of me.
The 2021/2022 school year will be my 22nd year at RWHS after four years of secondary teaching in other districts in Iowa and Minnesota, and approximately eight years teaching post-secondary English courses either full or part-time between two collegiate institutions. Prior to these formal education experiences, I spent a great deal of time traveling, working numerous jobs - some professional, some not, reading, attending college, and of course, serving four years in the United States Navy.
This year I'll be leading the following courses: AP Lit & Comp/ Intro to Lit (Fall) and College Writing II (Spring) ((Concurrent via SE MN Comm. College), American Lit I (Fall) and Am. Lit II (Spring), and a return to Language Arts II (10th grade).
My office hours this fall vary with the quarters (semester courses) but typically before school from 8 to 8:50 a.m. and from 3:55 to 4:10 or so for establishing other meeting times. My classroom remains J102 where I welcome students to an open-minded atmosphere. My email address is and my school phone contact is 385-4600 Ext. 4726.
