Learning and teaching, researching and mentoring, reading, writing, traveling and sharing, give fullness to my life. Travel to remote areas in different countries and living in Mexico and rural areas of China when training local teachers of English has broadened my perspective on life and my country. No matter where I am located, it is a pleasure and privilege to work with people who are learning and reaching toward goals that will allow them to serve others through many different fields from firefighting, nursing, law enforcement, business, public service, sciences, arts, humanities, social services, psychology, and education. I have a website where you can read about my published books, articles, and some unpublished non-fiction short stories.
