When I'm not working on improving teaching and learning I can frequently be found playing the role of father, husband, and Packer fan, often in intersecting ways.

Other identities I assume include a chess player, soccer player, spoken word poet, woodworker and amateur bicycle mechanic.

Having grown up in Milwaukee and matured in Chicago, I call the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan home.  After a stopover in the more gentle climate of the San Francisco Bay Area, I'm now enjoying my exploration of the rolling hills and rivers of mid-Missouri.
