I have spent most of my professional career working in youth-oriented radio as an on-air host, though I have also worked as a substitute teacher in the past. I believe in celebrating small achievements and building on incremental gains to reach goals. I particularly enjoy tutoring essay writing and algebra II.

I love to write! I self-publish a book or two every year, contribute a monthly column for a music review website, and maintain my own personal blog where I talk about my writing and creative process. I like to read as well - I'm a Stephen King fanboy, but I also try to stretch myself with heavier nonfiction books. My wife and I are also major movie watchers. We're currently working our way through a list called "1,000 Films To See Before You Die." It has everything from The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari to Inception. We also mix in cheesy horror movies every now and then, because no film diet is complete without a little junk food.
