Classroom Instruction
I currently teach English to International and U.S. Army
personnel in the U.S. and abroad. Previously I taught English to children and adults in the Republic of Korea.
While in college I attended the Teacher's Education program, completing all but the last semester internship,
though I did not seek licensure in the state of Colorado. Throughout my career I have been called on to speak
in front of or teach large groups, and very much enjoy doing so.
HTML Design / Web
publishing
Over the past ten years I have designed and maintained a personal web page and various
pages for employers, associates, and friends. I currently maintain several web sites, including this site. I currently maintain my
own web server and you can find links to pages there and elsewhere on the front page of this site.
