For those who came before me, I thank you for inspiring me. For those who will come after me, I ask that you never stop learning.

Public Education was designed to do what its name indicates: education for the public. I am proud to have been in it for 36 years.

Outside my class I’m a Red Hat for college football. I stop games for TV ads. I teach TV, so my students get an inside look at the industry.
