Jeff's Story
Life
Howdy,
Jeff Adkins here. I am living in Northern Champaign County with my wife ,Joan. I am very excited about living in the country after living in the city for so long. I am the Literacy Coordinator for the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction in Ohio. I have been teaching for 26 years (OSU"84). I finished my Master's of Science in Literacy from Ashland University in 2003 and just finished a second in Educational Administration in Spring 2009. I am married and have 4 children and 4 grandchildren. I finished my 29th year and retired from the Army Reserve/ National Guard and finished my career as a Lieutenant Colonel. I spent a year with the US Army in Iraq and Afghanistan from April 2006- March 2007. It was truly a life changing experience. Love to hear from my old pals.

Workplace
In 1984, I began my teaching career as a Substitute Teacher and Assistant Track Coach at West High. From 1985-1997, I was lucky enough to teach and coach in the London City School System in London, Ohio. I taught Ohio History, World History and Geography. I was also an Assistant Track and Wrestling Coach when I initially worked at the Middle School. I had the honor of being the Head Wrestling Coach at London High School from 1990-1997. The years that I spent in London were very special for me and will never be forgotten. I now work for the State of Ohio as the Literacy Coordinator for the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
