About the store

Experience

I am a high school teacher in Michigan. My mom teaches 1st grade and is about to retire soon after 40 years! The last couple of years I have helped her develop lessons from the computer. Thus, being on TpT will serve two purposes.

Teaching style

Socratic. I wish I were as good as Socrates.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I was the 2004 recipient of the Triple A+ Award from my high school for academic and continued service to the school and community.

My own education history

I am a teacher, coach and small business owner. I am lucky to teach a discipline that I love and hopefully I show an enthusiasm for my classes.

Additional biographical information

I am a married family man who thought: I can look at other educators materials for ideas, help younger and older educators with ideas and maybe make a few extra dollars for my family while at it. Oh yeah, I also own a driver education school :)
